Told through the eyes of three mothers - Madeline, Celeste and Jane - Big Little Lies paints a picture of a town fueled by rumors and divided into the haves and have-nots, exposing the conflicts, secrets and betrayals that compromise relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbours. Based on the New York Times number-one bestseller of the same name by Liane Moriarty, this seven-part limited series is a subversive, darkly comedic drama that weaves a tale of murder and mischief as it explores society's myth of perfection and the contradictions that exist beneath our idealized façade of marriage, sex, parenting and friendship.

Big Little Lies (2017)
Agatha Christie meets full frontal feminism. I don't know if I should take a look first at how well it's written, how exactly it's acted, or how exclusively it's filmed. There are a lot of series that work hard on feminism. This is feminist, without pirouettes and big words. A maze that on the one hand looks like a brilliantly built small-town tragicomedy, on the other like a purebred whodunnit detective story. God, do not punish me for guessing the solution in the third part. But the sound of Elvis still vibrated me. Love them all, those wicked moms.
