Lizzie is no ordinary murderous psychopath. Her quiet demure adherence to social convention and propriety is not simply a mask but solidly integrated in her persona. There is a menacing wisdom behind her remorseless executions. Whatever the gore, she is placidly pragmatic as though sweeping the dust from her doorstep. With her world set aright and her family safe, she trundles from one perceived threat to another...creatively and brilliantly orchestrating the demise of her next victims. Christina Ricci brilliantly breathes vivid credibility to Lizzie even imbuing the character with an innocence and superficial naiveté . I feel the cast of this drama excellently executed this (pardon the pun) delightfully macabre work of dramatic art. I do hope we see Lizzie continue her mission through another season ..or more. I am hoping this series does not find itself axed in its prime.
