I disliked how sexualised it was, especially towards the children. And how rape apologetic it is, stuff like everyone makes mistakes while drunk, so somehow it isn't rape, and lots of statutory stuff.
Also the scene where Camilla took oxycontin (an opioid) with her 13 year old sister was very icky.
Making Amma the killer felt like a cop out, I preferred it to when Adora was. It felt more complete with that ending </Spoiler>
