overall, the show was good. i like the idea that camille harms herself, internalizing her pain, while amma harms others, externalizing it, but i think the last two episodes turned into an fbi investigation type of show rather than a heart wrenching story about traumatizing mother-daughter relationships.

although the plot twist is good, amma’s story and trauma could have been told with more care, because it looks like she’s a heartless killer for no reason. overall i think the idea was good but the execution mishandled the effects of munchausen. they could have focused more on how she seeks her mother’s validation and how that makes her turn to violence since love causing harm and pain is all she knows.

tldr; amazing show but i did not like the depiction of amma’s trauma, so that soured my experience.
