While I appreciate the refreshing story, I sense the screenplay failed to capture it well. The main character is full of inconsistency and the Taylor-Joy fails to portray the emotional experience of the character. She doesn't come across an orphan kid who bloomed too early and more of a spoiled brat who has always had it all. And in some scenes she couldn't even act sad or stressed and came across as excited instead!

Isla Johnston playing the younger Beth was better in portraying the character!

The show has plot holes as if they have missed parts of the original story and getting a twenty something year old Taylor-Joy to play a 13 year old girl pre-puberty by just giving the actress a childish haircut was ridiculous.
