[@Seriesable]

Part 2 that includes the FINALE episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKTRc4qXpb6Ur9E

[@marydauby5229]

Had to watch the series several times to catch everything...always appreciate another set of eyes

[@jessdully3348]

What a fantastic analysis! I love engaging with complex texts and shows but I always want to talk to someone afterwards. This is the next best thing. Keep up the excellent work!

[@mabos5545]

Just finished Sharp Objects yesterday and this video was so helpful in getting me to fully digest and appreciate all of the details in the show. Thanks for making it!!

[@DavidOwensuk]

Okay I had missed most of the clues you have pointed out! Great analysis, luckily, I got the plot without seeing most of them... love your work!

[@mattbatts]

From someone who loved, and did a deep dive on this series, this is a wonderful, even more revealing review. Testament to the brilliant artistry of all involved with it, from the page to the screen. Well done! Cheers.

[@SB-ul1py]

In a later episode, maybe 6 or 7, the word “Police” on the side of Vickery’s police cruiser very briefly transforms into the word “Bodice” before reverting back to “Police”. Considering that a bodice is a lady’s somewhat old fashioned undergarment, maybe the inclusion of this term is a reference to the antiquated attitudes toward women in Windgap.

[@5089amara]

this series/novel is going to stick with me for a really really long time. i wish the show explored race more, as southern gothism is heavily imbedded in racial attitudes and discrimination following the civil war (even when we see calhoun day and when adora mistreats her housekeeper). i love how flynn gruesomely showcases the horrors of generational trauma and social reputation. the fishbowl nature of wind gap really made all the characters stand out but in a realistic way, and the entire show was ripe with symbolism (no pun intended) so much so that even though i had my eyes glued to the show for the entire 8 episodes, you managed to teach/uncover more things for me to appreciate. take my like!!!

[@Am-gj6co]

Honestly, the fact that you managed to catch all that is incredibly impressive!!! Thank you for your insights!

[@emann1672]

This was the first video I’ve watched of you. Wow!!! I love how you explain and point out details, that might have missed, but were important. I had to keep going back, because I thought I saw something?? But, your analysis of the Music, Cuttings, and the Characters, really helped see everything that needed to, in order to completely appreciate Sharp Objects. I loved this Series.. Thank you for your review!!! Like the Series, you’re review is unique and smart and so full of great bits & pieces that make us feel excited, like you have let us in on a little secret..

[@marnimanning2457]

wow, I loved this series - it was haunting and thought-provoking. Thank you for bringing attention to all the hidden messages - it made it that much more meaningful.

[@anjanettemolina7204]

I really like your review/analysis of this fantastic series. Subscribed right away lol.

[@seasidescott]

Wow, impressed. Do you have scientific training? You draw precise connections and conclusions that require significant probabilistic thought and elimination of extraneous information. Thanks so much for your contributions.

[@Seriesable]

Wow, thanks! I’m impressed by your comment. I have a background in advertising and marketing, so I’m used to extrapolate and analyze information to arrive to an insight.

[@jaylamont2870]

This is so wholesome

[@denisha23]

This was awesome!! I loved this series. And Gillian Flynn books. This was the only book of hers I have yet to read. I would have never noticed all the things you pointed out. Great job 👏🏽

[@rikkual-saoudi8240]

Will you give us a complete review from the entire season - your are incredible. I would enjoy it so much!

[@Seriesable]

Honestly I’m not sure if I’d make it in time, so that anyone would still care. I’m currently editing another video and it takes me so much to make a new one every time! I don’t want to publish anything I’m not proud of, so I don’t want to rush, if that makes sense? Thanks though! Your comment made me smile!

[@rikkual-saoudi8240]

@@Seriesable yeah I absolutely get you. It's just there are so many theories about Allen and his role in this "family drama" and none fits to mine so I am eager to hear yours. Anyway I totally agree with you - quality over quantity! I look forward to seeing from you soon since the eight season from ahs is about to arrive and then later of course for the third season of the handmaid's tale. Surely my expectations are high ;)))

[@Seriesable]

Ah, Allen is definitely an interesting character very few people have given attention to! I’m definitely looking forward to the new AHS myself! And there are so many new shows arriving in September I’m curious about, it’s definitely going to be a busy few months ;)

[@rs5352]

I would still care. If you make it, I'll watch it.

[@Seriesable]

I've made a video for the other episodes, including the finale, as requested!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKTRc4qXpb6Ur9E

[@lindasturm699]

I loved the series and your outstanding analysis of it! Makes me want to watch the series again to see the things (words) I missed!

[@mgparis]

I'm just catching up on this series now and your analysis is fantastic! Brava :)

[@vickinoeske1711]

Love your breakdown on Sharp Objects and you're right, I did miss most of the word clues. Thanks.

[@markchalled3976]

Excellent video. thanks for your insight into one of the best shows on tv this season. You showed me things that I had missed. Keep up the great work.

[@teapotsticker2809]

I'm the 100th comment!! But much more importantly, thank you for putting in the time to make this video essay. It's very enlightening, 100%, and helps me see just how much attention to detail and subtlety was put into this fantastic series. One thing I will note is that in the English subtitles for the video, it says "fate" instead of "faith."

[@diontaerespress3602]

This is the best video I've seen on the show

[@mariasaizgarrido5582]

Just saw this but, you can see a photo of Camille and Alice on her desk, in the first shot in which you talk about the "ask!" pins

[@aliyaforever2254]

This video showed way more then I seen. I think I'll read the book as well! Thank you this video was awesome!

[@hs-zd4ch]

I haven't watched the series yet but I just finished the book, but also these words popping up seem like they could be a way to represent the feeling camille had in the book of words she had written on her skin "burning".

[@sim7106]

yes!

[@ninaxwings]

Amazing video. I grew up on the book and watched the show a bunch of times since it came out I thought I wouldn’t miss a single clue in here, but girl, you got me. Am I the only one that feels bad for Alan? Maybe it was Henry Czerny’s portrayal of him. Just couldn’t help but pity the guy.

[@rogermurph101]

So, about that first episode. Parts of it were filmed in St. Louis, some of the exterior shots. When she is supposedly on her way to Wind Gap is when she comes upon the sign that reads "Last chance to change your mind". In reality, that sign reads "Last Missouri exit". It's on eastbound highway 40 running through downtown St. Louis. Once Camille passes that exit, she cannot get off the highway before entering Illinois. Then there's a shot of her on 40, with the Arch to her left (north) as she's crossing what would be the Mississippi. So, if the fictional town of Wind Gap is somewhere near the bootheel, why the hell is she going to Illinois? She should have been filmed heading south past Busch Stadium, taking interstate 55 which would take her straight to the bootheel. They did a good job of including Easter eggs for us locals (like a shopping bag from one of the local grocery chains) so this blunder really bugged me. That aside, I loved the series.

[@concernedspectator]

Excellent analysis! The show had much going for it and your video helped savor the details.

[@NerdyGamerReacts]

I just subbed, great video, thanks for the in depth view of everything in the show. 🙂

[@jamiex6072]

I truly enjoyed this video

[@ilinka.kijanovic]

Wow. This is really impressive! I've never come across such an in-depth and, yes, sharp analysis on YT. :) Thank you!

[@rozenart5768]

Love your post! Great explanation... I love the show and can’t wait till season two!

[@JenniferAshtar]

Fantastic analysis and review!

[@trip2belize]

Beautiful breakdown, just finished this show and wow.

[@deedeek75]

Wow great review! I missed almost every single sign you pointed out! I would love to hear your thoughts on the series as a whole and how you felt about the ending.

[@Seriesable]

I've made a video for the other episodes, including the finale, as requested!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKTRc4qXpb6Ur9E

[@bhuvana7401]

WOW!! Never realised shows could be such deep, you explained it so well, I was truly fascinated by your analysis!🤩

[@karlaordaz2390]

You have a good eye for clues. Thank you for sharing

[@daneone5576]

This is a genius video. Great job!

[@stskotty]

Hey. Just finished (and completely enjoyed) Sharp Objects. I stumbled upon your video and loved it. You pointed out things I noticed but didn't really take note of, as well as things so subliminal you must have watch each episode a number of times in slow motion. I would like to suggest 2 shows I loved and think you might also (actually i have a ton I'd like to suggest but we'll start here). First is The Leftovers. A series I consider flawless with tons of layered characters and themes. The other is Mr Robot which leaves a lot of fun clues and Easter eggs to search for. Hope you get a chance to enjoy them if you haven't already.

[@Seriesable]

Thank you! Yes, I have watched both the leftovers and mr. robot and I love them both!

[@jenniferboylan6226]

Thank you! I missed many of these hidden words. I'll be "sharper-eyed" going forward. (on episode 5.)

[@ccharles848]

Wow! Amazing what I missed! Creepy series so I'm not up for watching it again. Thanks for the insight!

[@DeniseLaFranceCDNpainter-z9g]

Succinct analysis. Thanks. Enjoyable. I subscribed^^

[@SincerelyGail]

Wow...you’re awesome! I need to watch the series all over again. The stuff you pointed out just went over my head. Amazing analysis! Well done. Are you a professional critic?

[@Seriesable]

Hi Gail! No, I’m not a professional critic, but thank you for the great feedback!

[@buffytargaryan7171]

Excellent video!

[@nathanaelmancev3557]

This was fantastic analysis. Thanks

[@isabel6256]

Great catches!!

[@Turtleneckandpearls]

Super well-written and edited vid! Thank you!

[@HeatherHolt]

Greet video! How did she cut worlds onto her own back tho… half of us can’t even unzip dresses mid back 🤷‍♀️

[@Pandozzi]

amazing video!! i really enjoyed your analysis

[@mariacamilaperezortiz282]

Excellent job!! Congratulations :D I love this type of content

[@galehutchinson260]

Amazing video. Thank you for showing me some of the hidden words that I missed.

[@juliecrouse13]

This video was enlightening and incredibly insightful. Excellent!

[@bluemacaw1473]

VERY GOOD EVALUATION OF THE SERIES!!

[@melissab9639]

Aces! Well done!

[@elisalisa398]

What a great job!! I haven't noticed most of the signs! Thanks))

[@KwapiPL]

There's some incredible insight here. Great job!

[@jguo52]

What a great analysis

[@moorch5359]

Very good!!!! Loved it

[@justine1.26]

Series Finale:Milk:Does anyone know what Camille pulled out of the garbage in her St. Louis apartment, just before she discovered the floor made of teeth in Amma’s Doll House? (She pours the glass of “milk,” throws the 1/2 gallon carton in the trash, notices something, reaches into the trash and pulls out something small, flat, pink on white. Same shade as the nail polish. It’s the reason she started looking in Amma’s room in the first place.) I rewound that scene over and over but I can’t figure it out.

[@Ara.Lenchito]

a mini blanket that Amma's new friend bought for the doll house.

[@justine1.26]

Araceli Herrera Awesome! Thank you So Much!!

[@SB-ul1py]

Did Mae bring it? I thought it was made on the sewing machine when the two were sewing in Amma’s room in St Louis. I could be wrong however! I wonder why Amma throws it away. Hmmmm.

[@justine1.26]

Sally Burke I think that Mae made the blanket, (it very well could’ve been made on the sewing machine) but it shows Mae pulling it out of the doll house & showing it to Camille, then flashing a huge smile at Amma, who was using that sewing machine at the time. Amma easily gets jealous when it comes to Camille & Momma, so Amma threw away Mae’s contribution. 🙂 Sick little girl!

[@user-mb9nm7bq5e]

Holy fuck, you re brilliant! Damn I gotta pay more attention

[@carolynprior6488]

Well done! Would love to hear your thoughts on the final episode and post credit scene.

[@Seriesable]

I've made a video for the other episodes, including the finale, as requested!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKTRc4qXpb6Ur9E

[@TwelveK]

Great breakdown! I'm definitely going to read the book.

[@clararuizgarcia3]

For the people that like this serie, could you please recommend another similar serie? Thank you!

[@jqaces]

Very thorough and informative. ★★★★★

[@bluemacaw1473]

Totally irrelevant, but your eyebrows are spectacular!

[@SB-ul1py]

Justine Helleson... Thank you. That makes perfect sense. Scary girl, indeed!

[@sawvaty]

Damn. I enjoyed this video. Thank you

[@lesliecannady2112]

What was the meaning of the elephant tusk flooring that was too delicate to wear shoes?

[@Seriesable]

Technically, it was a very old flooring that needed to be maintained well. Adora mentions the history of the flooring to the photographer in one of the flashbacks. Realistically, I think it was just another one of Adora's ways to manipulate her daughters: both Mariam than Amma were allowed in the bedroom, Camille never was, because 'she was dirty' aka Mariam and Amma allowed Adora to care for them, for their 'sickness', making them clean and pure. Camille, on the contrary, was dirty/wrong because she never caved to her mother's 'affections'. When Camille pretends to be sick and finally allows Adora to care for her in the final episodes, she enters the bedroom and Adora isn't bothered by the floor whatsover.

[@leahanne3280]

Could you please do a review of the whole series??? That was amazing!!!

[@Seriesable]

I already have other videos in the making/editing, but I’ll see if I manage! Thank you!

[@Seriesable]

I've made a video for the other episodes, including the finale, as requested!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKTRc4qXpb6Ur9E

[@alangeorge1996]

Only if your video included the explanation for the ghost like presence of Marianne in the house in the background during the present , every now and then.

[@drew42228]

very observant missed most of them and the meanings. good stuff

[@hendrabp8234]

I want more omg i love u

[@melee75]

I thought overall the show was boring until the last two episodes.

[@lacarolineguhh]

Interesting

[@kringlefanten]

It's a great show.

[@patriciacamara4761]

Hi. Where are you from? I'm brazilian, I'm learn english.

[@Seriesable]

Hi! I’m Italian.

[@Liamfenton]

what do you think the fans represent??

[@Seriesable]

The fans??

[@leilam-k9569]

Jean Marc Vallée loved to film fans. It apparently wasn't scripted, he just kinda really liked the look of them and would stop filming actors to focus on them. Wind Gap is stuck on a loop? Life there is repeating itself? Camille is coming full circle? They're sprinkled all over the series.

[@ГульнараМухамедьярова-ж8н]

Good question 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Seriesable]

I think there are lots of artistic choices throughout, like when Vallee didn’t tell Amy Adams about the ‘don’t be a victim’ poster but knew that she would notice it and filmed her genuine reaction to it.

[@Sbw1976]

This is just my opinion but I think its a comparison to the pig barns( there were large fans in the pig barns)...the pigs are slaughtered and Camille's sister was also slaughtered by the mother. I havent read the book- it may be referred to more clearly there.

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

Read the book, just a suggestion. It is better than this series so far.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

yeah but book dont have those hidden messages that show has, both in background small details or soundtrack

[@cheapskatecraftingwithlehn8088]

i watched all of sharp objects and it stops when she realize her mom poisoned her sister when does the new season start I'm so into this show

[@angelalopez2003]

Unfortunately, that was it, there won't be any more episodes. Amy said that it was too dark and it drained and exhausted her.

[@petergabriel214]

love your deep explanation of the events and graphic messages about the show in your video but totally hate your forced " British " accent ;)

[@Seriesable]

Thanks! Well that’s my natural accent and the way I talk in English. Everyone who’s first language is not English I guess speaks funny to someone who does. Perhaps you would sound just as weird if you were to be able to speak another language ;)

[@justine1.26]

I Loved your Video. It was a first for me. I will subscribe to your channel!Please see my question-I am sure you will know the answer. I wish I had time to read the book.

[@Seriesable]

I will watch the final episode tonight and answer your question tomorrow!

[@Seriesable]

Someone did already and it's correct :)
