Also - the word "impactful" didn't exist in 1997. I really hate that word ... and Randall used it 3x in his essay, too!

Maybe the black clothes are a "fuck-you" response to the feminine clothes her mother offered to her. Or - and this is less subtle - they may just represent the mourning she is experiencing for her lost childhood, her lost innocence, and the sense of security that every person deserves to feel.

I have not read the book, and I haven't watched the episodes as closely as some of the posters here. But Wind Gap (and by extension, many of its citizens) reminds me of a person who has been traumatized but does not realize yet that they are behaving in response to their trauma. Camille is the person who seems to be the most outwardly dysfunctional - the all-black clothing, the alcoholic drinking, the scars, the refusal to be polite - but she is the one who seems to be getting closest to the truth of what happened with the murders. Amy Adams mentioned in an interview that as Camille gets closer to discovering the truth about the murders, she gets closer to discovering the truth about her family. I hope that the story has a satisfying conclusion and we find out what is at the heart of the Crellin-Preaker family dysfunction.

I can't wait until S2! My husband thought the show sounded super weird at first, but I got him pulled into it. He and I quote Coach Steve waaaay too much. We like to sing his version of the alphabet song. :)
