The show, which consists of eight episodes, is an adaptation of the 2018 bestselling novel by Karin Slaughter.
Starring Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote, the series has made the top of the streaming Top 10 list following its release on Friday, March 4.

Celebrating Andy's 30th birthday at a restaurant, a violent incident occurs, and Laura and Andy are suddenly on the run from an enemy Laura thought she had left behind.

After a gunman starts up shooting the place, Collette’s character shockingly slits his throat with a knife.

'The first ten minutes of Pieces of Her is the best opening to a TV show I’ve seen in a long time,' said someone else.

The official synopsis reads: 'A woman pieces together her mother's dark past after a violent attack in their small town brings hidden threats and deadly secrets to light.'
Some viewers have also been dubbing Andy as 'the most annoying' character ever.
To be fair, I wouldn't say that to her face, considering what her mother is capable of...
