Rose Byrne’s Mystery Thriller ‘The Good Daughter’ Is One of Peacock’s Best Shows | Review

The first surprise in The Good Daughter is how much happens in daylight. Crime stories set below the Mason-Dixon tend to prefer blacks and blues and barely discernible monsters doing monstrous things — as though violence in the South only happens after dark. Pikeville, the fictional Georgia mountain town where Karin Slaughter has planted this six-episode adaptation of her own 2017 novel, is bright and lush to the point of rudeness. Vines climb the sagging porch rails, red clay stains everybody's shoes. The childhood scenes are lit so hard they bleach at the edges, which is somehow even more unsettling in its attempt to recreate how memory actually behaves, especially for two sisters who’ve suffered enough trauma to fill too many lifetimes.

Across all 159 counties, that means veterans are your neighbors, teachers, service workers and more. Here's a look at the Georgia counties with the highest number of veteran residents, according to Stacker . Where are veterans living in Georgia? Alaska, Virginia and Montana have the highest concentration of veteran residents, but Georgia has no shortage of former servicemembers.
