Big Little Lies has a stellar cast in domestic drama mainly about affluent parents living in ultra wealthy and liberal Monterey, Ca. Yet it plays out in seven episodes a bit like the old and much longer Twin Peaks series...beginning with a possible murder. So if you don't have the time you just have to see the first episode and the last one to see who did it and you really won't miss much.
You see for a cast including Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley,Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman and Adam Scott, there really isn't that much for such a group to work with scriptwise. They are bored homemakers with strained marriages and manic kids. Even though the are only seven episodes,it really rather boring after three...the most disturbing aspect of the show is amount of physical abuse handed out to Kidman by her screen husband. I can't see why the great scores here on IMDb.
