Pieces of Her (Netflix)

Divorced, middle aged, cancer survivor Laura Oliver lives a quiet life in small town Georgia and has a difficult relationship with her adult daughter, Andi. A violent and traumatic incident while the pair are out to lunch puts Laura in the national spotlight and dredges up some deadly secrets from her past. Andi has to tap into resources she never knew she had in her quest to stay alive and discover who her mother really is. Based on a Karin Slaughter novel, the eight episodes jump around in time and place, gradually revealing the real Laura Oliver, her family history and her motivations. Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote are compelling as adult Laura and Andi. Because this series was largely filmed in Australia the supporting cast is packed with fellow Aussie actors, with varying degrees of success in the accent department. The suspense is maintained throughout as you wonder who will survive and who deserves to.
