Pieces of Her is well worth a watch if you like playing detective and with a stellar cast at its core – from Jessica Barden and Joe Dempsie, to Omari Hardwick and Gil Birmingham – this eight-part thrill-fest is a strong contender for the next title to top Netflix's streaming chart.

Despite its foreseeable conclusion, Pieces Of Her is still a pleasant thriller, especially due to Collette and Heathcote’s work. Being aggressively mediocre but enjoyable overall isn’t a bad thing—in this case, predictability triumphs any outlandish endings. Read full review

The series coasts on several genuinely shocking and well-executed twists, which do indeed puncture the haze of passive-watching we’re so used to. And maybe that adrenaline hit is enough, because while Pieces of Her isn’t a very good show, it will probably be No 1 on Netflix for the next week. At least. Read full review

In all, “Pieces of Her” is at its best when it allows itself to remain a puzzle: Putting it together, with endless expositional flashbacks schematically setting up what began as an intriguing and emotionally engaging story, removes the show’s charge. Read full review

It’s a shame that this inert writing drags down most of the performers with it too. Heathcote blandly plays confusion for most of the series, which likely makes for a relatable protagonist on the page but a boring one on TV. ... Only Collette offers any interiority. Read full review

verybody apparently abandons their jobs without explanation, little irritants that add up, making for a sloppy and fairly obvious story. What’s odd is that so much talent — the fine young actress Jessica Barden plays an earlier version of Laura — is involved in what is basically this week’s content. Read full review

"Pieces of Her" is most interesting when it wrestles with questions of identity and transparency. ... Unfortunately, creator Charlotte Stoudt ("Homeland") merely pricks those sharper edges, leaving us a grab bag of set pieces that never come together. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Series starts off with a literal "bang!" but then we are taken on an 8 hour snore fest that could have been much more intense as a two hour film. By the 5th episode I found myself reaching for the remote to fast forward through predictably long and meaningless scenes.
One of the biggest issues I have with the show is that the opening scene in the first episode where the mother (SPOILER) expertly and ruthlessly cuts the gunman's throat is never fully explained. After it happens the audience is left shocked and wondering about the mother's hidden past that must include her being some type of trained killer or military agent. In fact, we are never given any explanation as to how the mother has these skills or performed such deft skills with a knife. The only reason given is that one time when she was a teenager she saw someone killed in that same way. It's incredibly stupid. The mom is just a tortured person that had a rough life due to her poor choices. The only scene where they show her training is one afternoon, her then boyfriend shows her how to use a gun.
Sure, the show had some late twists and turns that are unexpected, but by the time they occur you're too bored and disappointed to care.… Expand

The plot, or rather the behavior of the characters, is illogical at times and gives the feeling that it is only there to upset the viewer.

I feel so bad for Toni Colette. This was so disappointing. The whole premise of the show is that her character has this big hidden past. Yet as the eight episodes progress, it becomes quite clear that the secret past is not that big of a deal.

The final reveal in the end is such a thud.I feel so bad for Toni Colette. This was so disappointing. The whole premise of the show is that her character has this big hidden past. Yet as the eight episodes progress, it becomes quite clear that the secret past is not that big of a deal.

The final reveal in the end is such a thud. And had the writing been better, it would have had more impact. This series is a non-event with amazing performances ruined by a nothing script.… Expand

Started off promising enough but it seems it only had the climatic events in mind and not how to build to and from them. A dark and mysterious past is suggested at first to an anti-climatic reveal that doesn't demand the severity the characters live in. It's a confusing frustrating waste of time.
