| DD 12 and I are looking for a show to watch together and we both love shows that tend to be a little bit spooky, and also shows that are about mothers and daughters. This show called "Sharp Objects" seems to be both! However, I've heard it can get a bit violent. DD isn't the most sensitive but not the least sensitive either. DCUMers who have watched the show, inappropriate? Yay or nay? |

| NO, that show contains plotlines with child abuse |

I don’t know anything about that specific show, but even if I did, judgments about what is or isn’t appropriate are highly subjective. That’s why I always recommend parents use Common Sense Media and or/the IMDB Parent’s Guide for specific information regarding any areas of concern (including violence). I hope you get the responses you’re looking for regarding opinions of this show, but even then I would encourage you to consult one or both of these websites for additional information.

| No it was terrible. I couldn’t through it. Also my least favorite of her books |

| No way. I'm pretty liberal with my teens when it comes to watching but I thought it was so heavy. There are several scenes about child abuse and cutting. It was hard to watch. |

No and I am not normally an overly concerned parent. My kids read whatever they wanted at any age. Sharp Objects is a tough story I’d chose something else. |

| I read that book and also watched the show. The show has gruesome murder scenes, torture, child abuse, sexual assault, and at least one scene of female masturbation. |
