What is the central mystery of HBO’s Sharp Objects adaptation? Is it the identity of the killer plaguing Wind Gap, or is it the slow reveal of all the terrible things that led Camille, Adora, and even Amma to be in the troubled states they’re in right now? With an episode like “Fix,” the most obvious answer is that these two mysteries will inform and dovetail into each other’s respective resolutions.
Does that mean Adora or Amma, or hell, even Camille, might’ve committed the murders? Not necessarily, but then why spend so much time advancing their individual character development without really showing progress on the murder case? “I guess you can’t trust Adora’s girls, can you?” Camille cheekily quips at one point. All that’s absent is a knowing wink.
