The best part of #CruelSummer, season 1, is the range of #ChiaraAurelia as #JeanetteTurner. #OliviaHolt as #KateWallis is also very good.

What #Chiara did was next level, imo.

From geeky, awkward, innocent, and desperate-to-be-liked, to dark, brooding presence, her performance elevated this twisted #SoapOpera.

And the ending is just right.

It starts slow and grating (immature teen drama) but the final few episodes pay off.

It's a good show, overall, just don't expect a lot.
