Stupidest Shit I’ve Ever Seen Yet.
I’m sorry for the slightly profane heading of my post but c’mon now.
Let me see if I get this straight. They go on ahead & arrest Adora for poisoning Camille, Amna & possibly murder for Marian’s death & also for the other murders & the genius that Amna is, when she’s scott free of the whole thing is she goes on & kills her new best friend & does it the same exact way (strangle, pulling the teeth, etc) that she did to the other girls & now of course everyone knows she did it by now.
Even though they didn’t show the murder of the girl & the teeth part, I know this because my girlfriend who read the novel explained it all to me. But the absurdity of it all is they don’t bother showing or explaining any of that in the final moments of the finale. Big deal, Camille finds a tooth (girlfriend also told me in the novel the dollhouse rug was made of human hair that she took from her victims), Amna comes in & whispers “don’t tell mama”
WHAT?! THATS IT?!! That’s the big payoff? That’s how this shit ended? After watching this dredge on for 10 episodes, this is how the series concluded? Man what a rip! It really was. Again my gf told me in the novel they naturally catch Amna when she kills someone else the way again....in Chicago no less. She said that Camille visits her in jail/loony bin & asks her how she could have done such a thing & she forgets exactly what Amna said.
But the book details how Amna killed the 2 girls in Wind Gap WITH THE HELP from her friends who held them down while she strangled them. Showing what a malicious psychopathic bitch Amna AND her friends really were. Her crew was as guilty as hell as she was. You reading this wouldn’t fucking know ANY of this by watching the finale which didn’t bother to explain shit to anybody.
Oh yeah, btw this drives Camille over the edge & she tries the self cutting thing on her face this time in someone’s bathroom but they break the door down & stop her & from then on they serve as surrogate parents & take care of her.
I’m amazed that HBO wimped & skimped out the way they did. What was it? They didn’t have the balls to graphically show the murders? Seriously wtf?! BAD JOB! guys. Bad job. If they let it play out half the way the book ended it then I could see where this might merit some discussion Monday morning. But as it stands it was a God awful way to end what was a so-so series to begin with. What emotional impact was there in this dreck? What big reveal? At least the novel had some, this didn’t.
P.S, btw I did see that after the credits started to roll, after a few seconds they did show or feebly tried to show Amna kill the girls. It lasted only a few seconds & all you saw was Amna with a mean grimace on her face which amounted to nothing anyway but I’d thought I’d mention it.
