Screencaptures from the second episode of “Pieces of Her” have been added to the photo gallery as well.
Andy goes to Carrolltown to find the storage facility and car her mother has told her about, while Laura and her ex husband Gordon need to take care of the intruder who broke into Laura’s home and has been taken hostage by her. As Andy connects with a mysterious guy named Jake during her stay in the motel, Laura agrees to give a televised interview, so long as they promise not to edit anything and ensure it is broadcasted nationally. It sounds like she wants to send a message to whoever is watching her.

With many thanks to my friend Jess, screencaptures from the first two episodes of “Pieces of Her” have been added to the photo gallery. I’ll post each update with a synopsis of the episode, so be aware there might be spoilers in case you haven’t watched “Pieces of Her” by now (which you should, in its entirety, on Netflix).
Andy is a 30-year-old 911 operative living with her mother, Laura, a recovering breast cancer survivor. On her birthday, Andy and her mom go into town to have lunch. At the restaurant, things take a decidedly dark turn as an angry gunman opens fire. Seeing Andy’s police uniform, he assumes she is a cop. Laura throws herself between Andy and the gunman, and as he attacks her with a knife, Laura flips her hand with the blade and kills the man. Someone happens to record the entire incident, and within a few hours, Andy and Laura have gone viral. As soon as Laura leaves the hospital, she appears unnerved by her face being all over the news and tells Andy to move out immediately.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Last Kingdom and Pieces of Her finished in a virtual tie on the streaming series chart for March 7-13. Amazon’s Prime Video also had three entries in the top 10 original shows for the first time in the 19 months of Nielsen’s weekly rankings. British period drama The Last Kingdom accumulated 1.423 billion minutes of viewing time for the week, just beating out Pieces of Her (1.415 billion) for the lead among original series. (Pixar’s movie Turning Red on Disney+ was the top overall title with 1.7 billion minutes.) The Last Kingdom’s final season debuted March 9, while Pieces of Her showed substantial growth in its first full week after its March 4 premiere. Pieces of Her, starring Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote, had a larger average audience as it racked up its time over just eight episodes, while The Last Kingdom has 46 over its five seasons (Nielsen tallies viewing from all episodes of a series in its streaming charts). Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries, and currently only include Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix and Prime Video.
Netflix has published an interview on how Toni Collette, Jessica Barden and director Minkie Spiro navigated Jane’s story, which contains spoilers to the series: Jane Queller is a teenage piano prodigy and heir to a corrupt millionaire whose life is turned upside down after she meets and falls in love with the leader of the Army of the Changing World (and budding domestic terrorist), Nick Harp. Laura Oliver is a middle-aged single mother whose quiet life gets interrupted when she stops a gunman at a local restaurant, making her famous overnight. The women could not be more different, and yet, they are the same. Pieces of Her follows Laura, played by Toni Collette, as she is forced to exit witness protection and confront her past life as Jane, played by Jessica Barden. Jane’s upbringing, including the pivotal moments that land her in government protection, unfolds via flashbacks teased throughout the season, takes shape in the second half. Minkie Spiro directed all eight episodes and was tasked with tracing the evolution of Jane’s trauma over multiple decades, two identities and two performers. “Trauma as a subject really fascinates me,” Spiro says. “I was interested in dealing with present trauma, but also how trauma rears its ugly head years later.” The complete interview can be read over at Netflix.
Sorry for being late with a proper update on “Pieces of Her”, which can be watched on Netflix since last Friday. I have watched it and was pleasently surprised since I didn’t like the book and stopped reading after a good 100 pages – which culminates in the series’ first episode. I was hooked through its entire run and enjoyed the performances by Toni Collette, Bella Heathcote and the ensemble cast. Additional pictures have been added to the photo gallery. Make sure to watch the entire series on Netflix.
