When a Saturday afternoon trip to the mall with her mother suddenly explodes into violence, an adrift young woman's conception of her mother is forever changed.
Watchseries; Did those watching it feel,perhaps some parts dragged on?
It was hard feeling sympathy for the mother,despite all she had/was dealing with..
For someone protecting her daughter,felt like she was throwing her"alone"to the wolves.. Too much!
Between decisions of stupidity,the daughter & some of her choices..
It was frustrating! But given the backstory of her mom,that might of contributed to her behavior.
Feel the odd relationship young Jane/her dad seemed to have,he was the one who actually impregnated her? Or maybe not,but nothing felt real truthful either.
Wonder if there will be a season two,which may focus on the brother?
Overall had some ok twists of mystery,but yet wasn't great in other aspects.
Is this a series which I could watch,again? Not really,but would see what another season brings.

Pieces of Her watchseries. We had the central plot figured out about 2 episodes in but had some nice twists and turns. The daughter was frustrating because she would do something and we would say "has she never seen a movie? That is a mistake." some leaps in logic. Makes the FBI and Marshalls look like bafoons. Overall a fun ride, well written and directed. Every character is flawed, hard to like any of them.

Far too long for the content which makes it drag in places. I found the hopping around in time periods very frustrating and rather confusing which would be even worse if not watched in a pretty short timeframe ( in my case over 2 days).
Had it not been for Toni Colette I wouldn't have watched it to start with. But even though she's such a powerful actress it was still rather a disappointment but by no means as bad as the numerous 1 and 2 score ratings that some have given it imo.

It started really well. I like the main actress so was looking promising. However, after the first episode it goes down hill fast and drags on and on and on. Not worth watching in my opinion.

Is this series finished? Hard to tell from the last episode but it does wrap up the main story line.
There's a good, slow reveal mystery here based around flashbacks to a time in the United States in the 1980's not covered much these days. It also revolves around abusive and manipulative men psychologically tormenting women much like your average Lifetime movie but it's better than one of those.
The main problem with this series is that the character we follow isn't the tormented personality played by Toni Collette but her daughter as we follow her frantic path of discovery about her mom's mysterious past. Unfortunately the daughter isn't given enough sympathetic characteristics to elevate her above a 30 year old screw-up. She's initially portrayed as helpless but suddenly becomes a pro at evading professional security goons out to get her. Since, unlike all the other main characters, we are given almost nothing about her (except that she's a drawing artist), it's very hard to follow and care. And the other characters are for the most part flawed people.

This isn't long enough to be a series and short enough that it should have been a movie. It's more of a family drama than a thriller. I think I should have used the time to watch something else.
