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.
“Pieces of Her” isn’t perfect–it feels at once overstuffed and truncated–but it’s undeniably compelling television thanks to its strong cast and endless cache of surprises.

It’s a show where the first episode is by far the best, because you can’t quite see the limits of their ambition yet. None of it quite makes sense, and while none of it is explicitly terrible, it’s not captivating either.
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.
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.
The time-shifts also dilute whatever suspense there is in Andy's ordeal, which becomes increasingly hard to believe or care about as Pieces of Her lurches to its puzzling anticlimactic finish. [14 - 27 Mar 2022, p.7]
"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.
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.

SEASON 1
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.
