Pieces Of Her is the latest Netflix thriller series propelled by a top-tier cast and compelling mystery.The eight-episode series follows Andy Oliver (Bella Heathcote) as she tries to unravel the past of her mother Laura (Toni Collette), who is thrown into the public eye after violently eliminating a threat during a deadly mass shooting at a local diner.At the outset, Laura is a speech therapist and breast cancer survivor, but as Andy discovers in the finale, her mother is hiding a whole other life.Laura Oliver is actually Jane Queller, the daughter of a pharmaceutical mogul Martin Queller who has been in witness protection with Andy for over 30 years.Laura/Jane’s father was shot dead onstage at the 1988 International Economic Forum in Oslo, Norway, following an attack by extremist group Army For The Changing World, led by Nick Harly (young version played by Joe Dempsie) aka Andy’s father.After giving evidence against Nick, Laura/Jane was placed into witness protection and given a new identity (aka Laura Oliver) before her daughter was born.Laura/Jane, however, is fearful of Nick tracking her down because he knows her secret – that she secretly helped to orchestrate the attack against her father, along with her brother Andy, with the Army For The Changing World.For the attack, the group kidnapped Alexandra Maplecroft, who was set to debate her father Martin at the Oslo conference. They replaced her with Grace Juno on the panel, who was supposed to throw a pack of red dye at him in a symbolic stunt against the corporation.Grace, however, pulls out a gun and shoots Martin dead instead before killing herself.
