The always impressive Toni Collette plays another fierce, complicated woman in the eight-part series, Pieces of Her, adapted from Kim Slaughter’s 2018 bestseller. She’s small-town mom Laura Oliver, whose secret criminal past catches up with her. In the premiere, Laura saves her 30-year-old daughter, Andy (Bella Heathcote), and others from a violent attack at a restaurant.
