    It's really a good show in some ways, but it's not great. It's a bit drug along but Fanning's performance is on point, per usual and it is a true crime story that I feel is important to understand after what happened to Conrad Roy with regard to Michelle Carter's actions that lead up to her sentencing. I began to lose a bit of interest toward the end because it became a bit too slow fromIt's really a good show in some ways, but it's not great.

    The performances are great. ... A more avoidable problem is that the script – while better than that of a Lifetime movie, for sure – rarely goes below the surface.

    While this exploration does deepen our understanding of the two protagonists, it fails to offer any answers.

    Thanks to the astounding Elle Fanning, this series about the Massachusetts girl who did jail time for texting her boyfriend to kill himself moves past the true-crime clichés and persuades us to open our hearts to this troubled teen in all her flawed humanity.
