Netflix's thriller series Pieces of Her has been hailed as so addictive that viewers are staying up all night to binge every episode. One TikTok user, Pamela, recommended the show, saying she finished the entire series in three days, while others admitted to watching it through the night.
Viewers Praise the Show's Gripping Mystery
In a TikTok post, Pamela described the show as a must-watch, stating: "If you guys are looking for a show on Netflix, I just finished this whole entire show in three days. That's how good it was." She added: "If you guys are into thriller, mystery, like after each episode you want to watch the next one like right after because you're like what's going to happen."
Pamela noted that the series has just one season of eight episodes, each almost an hour long, and predicted viewers would become addicted. Other viewers echoed her praise, with one commenting: "Piece of Her is so good. I just finished the first episode and it is tea." Another said: "Well I binge watched it all night. It was good."
What Is the Show About?
Pieces of Her is an American thriller drama series based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Karin Slaughter. It stars Toni Collette, Bella Heathcote, Jacob Scipio, Omari Hardwick, and David Wenham, and premiered on Netflix on March 4, 2022.
The story follows Andy (Bella Heathcote), a 30-year-old woman caught in a deadly shooting at a local diner with her mother Laura (Toni Collette). Andy witnesses her mother violently eliminate the threat, which leads her to unravel her parent's actions that day and changes her perspective on her mum.
Critical Reception and Ratings
The series received minor industry recognition and production accolades rather than major actor or series wins. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 6.3 out of 10, while Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 51% score.
Reviewers frequently highlight a strong, captivating lead performance by Toni Collette and an intriguing, high-tension opening episode. However, many reviews cite slow pacing, confusing or repetitive flashbacks, an overly convoluted backstory, and frustrating decision-making by the main character Andy.
All episodes of Pieces of Her are available to stream on Netflix UK now.
