Based on the literary quality of the winning novel, this miniseries definitely deserves a 9. To put it bluntly, this is the American version of "everything is good". Talking about the crude family of origin, each has a sad life. However, this simplicity, this kind of restraint, this kind of skill of standing up the characters in a few scenes and talking in a few words, are by no means "all good" people can look up to. Four short episodes, each of which is 50 minutes long, tells the four stages of the heroine's life and four independent stories. The adaptation is very good to master the rhythm. The plots echo each other and continue, and each episode has its own themes, conflicts and contradictions, which are not boring at all. The turn and design of the climax of each episode is amazing. Full of the black style of the Coen brothers, without losing warmth. The works I love have their compassion. While sharply depicting the cruelty and flaws of all living beings, it reveals the fragility and clumsy expressions of love behind it with great sympathy. It creates a powerful dynamic through excellent script adaptation, performance, and rhythm control, which pushes you to reflect on yourself, examine life, and think about cause and effect. This is a great work.
