Last year saw us all gripped by Big Little Lies, Jean-Marc Vallée’s uber-glossy tale of sex, lies and betrayal on the California coast, and he’s back behind the camera again here.

And while the claustrophobic township of Wind Gap might feel a world away from Big Sur, there are more than a few comparisons between the two shows.

As before, flashbacks play a big part in proceedings, as the past increasingly bleeds into the present, and there are plenty of characters harbouring some deep dark secrets.

Then there’s that powerhouse female-led cast, the thorny issue of domestic abuse, and Vallée’s keen eye for a sweeping landscape shot.

Basically, if you were a fan of Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman et al, Sharp Objects makes for an excellent companion piece.
