This should never have been an 8 episode series. Its length did not offer depth of perspective but was merely too much of the same thing. People drawn to the series hoping to get insight into Michelle Carter’s motivations will find the crumbs offered up by the writers to be limited and insubstantial. Fans who follow Elle Fanning will be glad to see her but not overwhelmed by her portrayal. It is hard to inhabit a poorly drawn character. There were attempts to mix the storytelling (musical numbers, turning texts into face to face conversations) but they all felt like padding of a failed narrative. Inevitably, this is a sad tale of two lives lost to tragic situations. I give this series a 5 (long, boring and unsubstantial) out of 10. [Crime Drama]

It explores the limits of guilt and how influential it can be in the actions of people with psychological problems. But it fails in the attempt to explain the motivations of the protagonist, almost limiting to her obsession with "Glee" and her fantasy world. Elle Fanning marks the contradictions of her character, but the show goes on with unnecessary flashbacks and ends without giving a satisfactory explanation.

She was one twisted, evil piece of work.
