Das Gift der Seele

With great performances and an insane story, I found The Girlfriend to be quite enjoyable.

Cherry and Laura’s feud alone is juicy enough to warrant a bite. 

...is exactly the kind of psychological and soapy binge to kick off the fall TV season, easily devoured in one indulgent sitting with a cheeky drink and lots of yelling at the screen.

...is, at the end, escapist trash. But it’s glossy and richly satisfying trash, right up until the perfectly devilish epilogue.

...has lost little of the book’s psychological acuity and retained all of the suspense. Not one to watch with your sons, perhaps, but otherwise – enjoy.
