@paladintodd i feel the same way... hard to relate to these characters. started to connect more to camille and understand adora a bit more last episode, but didn't feel this one was as good... same with her younger sister. who is elizabeth? if it's the woman who was flirting with the cop at the bar all episode i'm guessing she's the killer and that's why she keeps showing up and doing things even though she has no purpose... but i have no clue.
@paladintodd Adults who have been physically, emotionally and sexually abused in their childhood can find it extremely hard to say no to all kinds of things.

Blech, just, blech.
The main problem I have is that I don't understand Camille in the least. Her mother is horrible, they obviously don't get along - why go back and stay there? Why is she getting in the car with Emma? Why is she taking Oxy? Why is she letting her sister tongue her to pass drugs? I get that Camille has some dark past, but I see no connection between that and her behavior. I certainly can't scare up any empathy for her.
I realize that's how I feel about all of them. Adora is horrible, but I don't really see why she does anything she does. Emma is some bizarre wild child, again no real understanding of why. The husband is a neutered turd - but why in the world does he put up with it? Elizabeth Perkins - no idea what that character is doing. The sheriff has a routine each morning, but beyond that he might as well be a piece of cardboard.
Compare this show to Big Little Lies. Another show with a bunch of troubled people and a small town with a dark underbelly. But I got those people. I might not agree with them, might not support their decisions - but they were all alive, 3D people that I could empathize with.
