The Review: Pieces Of Her


Pieces Of Her DNF/10


I did not finish this series. After two episodes of watching an adult make such childlike mistakes and decisions I had to tap out. After reading in detail how the rest of the series goes I am very glad that I did. I was into this show during the first episode but by the end of the second I needed to know if the daughter stayed dumb and sure enough that seemed to be the case. This is about a 30 year old woman named Andy and her mother Laura. On her birthday a dude walks in and starts shooting up the restaurant they're in. Andy crumples on the ground unable to move. The guy thinks she is a cop (she is a dispatcher) and wants her to shoot him. Laura says to shoot her instead and gets a knife through the hand which she uses to slice his throat. Now they all over the news and some people she was hiding from realize who she is now and where she is start coming for her. After leaving the hospital Laura tells Andy to leave the house and she needs to grow up. She pouts and helps her mother bonk a guy on the head and goes on the run.



And by the run I mean she pays for food with blood covered money, doesn't know how to use a map, looks herself up in the library, flirts with the first man she meets (who turns out to be someone who was hunting her), and refuses to wear a disguise. Her face and her mothers face is all over the news. A drink ass woman even recognizes her and she asks a stranger to teach her to shoot a gun. Its the guy hunting her. I couldn't keep going after this. If the woman was 14 or 15...maybe. But watching her wide eyes for some more episodes while waiting to discover the mystery of her mothers secret past life...I'll pass. There's too much other good shows to be watching.
