Big Little Lies is and will always be one of the greatest television shows ever made, especially in the #MeToo and #TimesUp era; but I would have preferred for the series to end in Season 1, had I known how the writers intended to end Season 2.

It’s impressive how Season 2 of Big Little Lies is starting to pick up its pace. “The End of the World” (2019, directed by Andrea Arnold) shows the Monterey Five—Celeste, Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Jane (Shailene Woodley), Bonnie (Zoë Kravitz) and Renata (Laura Dern)—struggling with issues in their own lives, and Mary Louis (Meryl Streep) still refusing to believe that her son Perry (Alexander Skarsgård) grew up to be a menace.

“Tell-Tale Hearts” (2019, directed by Andrea Arnold) revisits some nasty memories and reveals some old lies.

It has been over two years since Big Little Lies (BLL) (2017—, created by David E. Kelley and based on the book by Liane Moriarty) premiered on HBO, a Season 2 (2019) wasn’t part of the initial deal when this series first started, but here we are now—hungry and eager to once again dive into the lives of the Monterey Five.
