Whilst I do not deny this is a well made series, it has unfortunately a sense of dragging that is so bad you feel like pulling your own teeth out!. I have not read the book so was left only with the taste of the show which does nothing to promote any sense of feminism or otherwise. Had the actress actually looked 13 or even 16 or 18, it might have helped her cause so instead of coming across as an innocent young girl enduring sexism and hardship, she comes across at times as having an IQ of 60 and at other times as a manipulative sly woman that lies about the men in her life, to the men in her life and uses them for her own greed ! Little light is shed on the actual murders as the viewer has to endure endless hours of a frowning face and a voice that drowns you in its monotony, telling a story that offers no depth or meaning. Dull characters building up to a pointless, meaningless end, rushed and silly.
