The following contains spoilers for Sharp Objects.
If you've been watching HBO'c chilling miniseries Sharp Objects [1], then you're well aware that something seedy is going on in Wind Gap, Missouri — and something even seedier is going on in the Preaker-Crellin household. Protagonist Camille has family issues that make your average dysfunctional clan look like The Brady Bunch [2], and one of the most mysterious leaves of Camille's family tree is her younger half-sister, Amma.
Amma Crellin — a two-faced teen who plays her narcissistic mother Adora [3]'s baby doll by day and hell-on-wheels (literally, thanks to roller skates) high school bully by night — is precisely the sort of "love to hate" character we haven't seen since Joffrey on Game of Thrones. Whether she's throwing a childlike fit about imperfect upholstery in her remarkably spooky dollhouse, taking unsettling pleasure in observing nursing piglets being raised for slaughter, or sticking a lollipop in her older sister's hair after publicly berating her, Amma's loathsomeness grows with every passing episode of Sharp Objects; and we have the feeling it's just getting started.
Just as fans couldn't tear their eyes away from Joffrey's cruelty and poor decision-making on GOT, they simply can't get enough of Amma's chillingly manipulative antics. Ahead, share in the multitude of possible reactions toward Amma's character on the show so far . . . you won't know whether to fear her, loathe her, admire her, or a mix of all three!
