It follows Camille Preaker (Adams), an emotionally troubled reporter who returns to her hometown to cover the murders of two young girls.

The series received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for its visuals, dark atmosphere, directing, and acting (particularly that of Adams and Clarkson). Among its accolades, Clarkson won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film and Adams received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film. It also received eight nominations at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited Series and acting nominations for Adams and Clarkson. It is the final directorial work of Vallée before his sudden death in 2021.
