For her directorial debut this was a pretty impressive film. Well shot and timed for the most part. That parking lot scene was executed so well too.
I guess the only thing I’m hung up on is how this move is framed. It’s advertised as the story of Cheryl and how she fends off the killer but what I’m really seeing is a story that wants to be told from the perspective of the killer and his various encounters. “Woman of the Hour” seems to refer to his woman of the hour or kill of the week.

Once I realized that this was a very clever use of the horror genre to explore generational grief and trauma I was hooked. Damn. This show is not only one of the best well written and well directed horror or thriller type shows I've seen but also one of the most heartfelt. The ending or reveal of that one episode literally made my jaw drop.
