Big Little Lies (HBO) TV Show • Page 3

Really enjoyed this show. I got more out of it as a look into womens' friendships, relationships, and modern motherhood than I did as a murder mystery. I enjoyed that aspect of it as well though. Great cast and writing.

Do we think that the very end where you see the group on the beach through a binoculars view is the detective who knew they were lying watching them?

 

Loved it. Wish there were a few more episodes.

 

What was everything else? Perry being the one who dies and also being Ziggy's father?

 

Yeah the detective was the first person I thought of.

 

Definitely the detective, you hear the flipping of the zippo lighter she plays with throughout right as it cuts to credits

 

Yeah. And max being the kid who was tormenting the little girl.

 

Did you read the book? I'm just curious what made you think it was Max?

 

No I didn't read the book. Just the fact that his father abuses his mother.

 

Also didn't that class hippo have one of its legs ripped off while the twins had it? That's when I figured it was one of them

 

I'm baffled at all of the think pieces coming out about this re: it being a groundbreaking "Peak TV–vanquishing Event Series"

 

I liked the series, but yeah it's been overboard

 

I do appreciate that that Ringer article couldn't go two sentences before plugging the leftovers tho.

 

The bit about gender disparity in criticism was interesting

 

This series was amazing, just watched it all in a couple days. Incredible acting, amazing direction, really great stuff

 

I remember seeing the preview for this a while back and dismissing it as some soap opera / softcore waste of time. Oh how wrong I was. Especially the last few episodes. Kidman and Witherspoon were absolutely incredible.

 

lol I guess season 2 is coming

 

A bit of a stretch, but yes the writer of the novel has thought about it.

“I have started to think about ways this could continue,” Moriarty told the Herald. “The producers have asked me to see if I can come up with some ideas. I wouldn’t write a new book but perhaps a new story, and then we’ll see what happens.”

“The obvious thing is, first of all, I think we could bring in more of Bonnie’s story from the book,” Moriarty added. “And also what happens next [for Celeste, played by Kidman]. That’s the question that’s also a really interesting thing, when you’ve been through a relationship like that, how do you feel now? How would she feel? She’s grieving. She’s still grieving for the end of a terrible relationship and I think that would be a really interesting thing to explore. So there’s a whole lot of different storylines.”

 

If they did a second season, I think I would want to start to start fresh with new characters and a new story arc

 

I definitely would hope that it doesn't spend much time on the police investigation. I don't think that would be all that interesting

 

Reese already bought the tv/film rights to the authors next book, so I'd rather see that get adapted next

 

Three eps left but this is really good. Murder aspect is probably the least interesting piece to me.

 

I liked this a lot but idk, there really doesn't need to be a second season.

 

I loved it but deff don't want a second season

But

The Leftovers first season covered the entire book and I said it should just end there and then it become the greatest thing ever. So shrug.

 

you have a very good point here

 

Nicole Kidman was left so angry by 'humiliating' Big Little Lies sex scene she smashed a window
