Telly’s Take

Although it premiered with very good numbers for a pay-cable TV show, it is still too early to use the ratings to predict whether HBO will want to bring Sharp Objects back for season two. It seems like a “one and done” series but, so did Big Little Lies and that’s returning for a second season.
