Based on the same-titled best-seller by Liane Moriarty, "Big Little Lies" weaves a darkly comedic tale of murder and mischief in the tranquil beachfront town of Monterey, Calif. Amidst doting moms, successful husbands, beautiful children, and stunning homes exists a community fueled by rumors and divided into haves and have-nots, exposing fractured relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbors.

Big Little Lies is an American drama television series, based on the novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty, that premiered on February 19, 2017, on HBO. Created and written by David E. Kelley, the series' seven-episode first season was directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. Despite originally being billed as a miniseries, HBO renewed the series for a second season.[1] Production on the second season began in March 2018 and premiered on June 9, 2019. All seven episodes were written by Kelley and directed by Andrea Arnold.

Critically acclaimed, the series garnered several accolades. It received 16 Emmy Award nominations and won eight, including Outstanding Limited Series and acting awards for Kidman, Skarsgård, and Dern. The trio also won Golden Globe Awards in addition to a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film win for the series. Kidman and Skarsgård also received Screen Actors Guild Awards for their performances.

First off you need to know that Season 2 has already started. However if you intend to watch this it’s critical that you binge the 1st season. Starting out in the 2nd season will only have you lost from the beginning. I can assure that this miniseries is far and wide one of the best HBO miniseries I have watch (i.e. note awards they received for season 1 and the critics and users high ratings.

For me this miniseries was an intensely addicting show. Plot line unfolds slowly but worth every second as you learn these dynamic characters and are on the edge of your Seat. I was completely sucked in on the first episode. I don't know why but I found this show completely and utterly mesmerizing, all the way down to the music and cinematography. Everyone involved in this from top to bottom hit it out of the park. Although there are only 7 episodes each on is packed full with tiny glimpse into each of their lives and the suspenseful ending!

Trust me this is one series you don’t want to miss!!
