[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which wouldn't prevent the detective from actually investigating.

Yet it does.  The author shouldn't set a mystery in modern times if she's just going to gloss over technology and procedures that exist.[/quote]

There are crime procedurals to be found if that’s your thing. Most viewers of this series probably aren’t looking for a longer series just to cover all of  the minutiae of forensic investigation and analysis. It was shown that the detective who came in from Kansas City or wherever was inspecting the body in the morgue, poring over crime scene photos, dental and medical records, taking soil samples from tires, interviewing people, asking questions of experts, etc. The sheriff was shown resisting a lot of that, which was kind of a theme to the story. There was actual investigating going on, but little of it was coming from residents of Wind Gap.

I don't necessarily like procedurals.  I like complex characters and plots.  This was just an extremely laid out story with massive plot holes and using weird titillating sex to get away with it.  Chris Messina's character did nothing but drink in bars and try to sleep with Amy Adams who when isn't dressed up looks kind of dumpy.  She seemed like she was on ambien during every scene.  The doe eyed amma looked like she stepped out of roller boogie or pretty little liars.

It had a great cast except for amma.  not sure why people get so agitated when people express dislike of it.  It was boring and nonsensical.

I'm not the PP and I'm not agitated in the least that you didn't like it.  But the rest of us are explaining why we *did* like it - and you're the only one who seems agitated.

I thought the entire cast was perfect, with Amma being an incredible new talent.  I was simultaneously transfixed and repulsed by her.  She did such an astounding job playing that character - from freshly scrubbed and sweet, in her bows and dresses, to slutty and high when out with her friends...to the last scenes where she's actually baring her teeth as she strangles the girls... amazing.  And Patricia Clarkson was beautiful, ice cold evil.  Camille was always drunk (though high-functioning), so no wonder it seemed like she was on Ambien.  That was exactly what she was supposed to be like.  I even got the impression that she probably smelled bad, considering she was wearing a sweater and jeans during the sultry, hot weather.  That, combined with drinking constantly, made me feel I could practically smell her.  [b]Remember when Adora lovingly tells her, "You smell ripe."  Ugh.[/b]

Did anyone notice that Camille is only drinking water and coffee at the end?  And she looks so much more "with it."  So I guess she cleaned up her act.

All in all, I loved this show and keep thinking about it.[/quote]
I think she was just expressing her distaste with her perceived loose sexuality with the detective. Plus, she’s a narcissist so she’s trying to cut deep.

I don’t picture her smelling bad. She was always seen bathing. Was even looking to pick up toilitries. I’m assuming Gayla laundered her clothing. Most of the adults were in long sleeved clothing at all time. If anyone smelled, it was Richard! He was a sweaty mess! She was probably a little sweaty, but I doubt she was rank.[/quote]
