Big Little Lies

(2017)

An HBO series created by David E. Kelley with a fantastic cast. Listen to this: Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Alexander Skarsgård, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep. It follows a group of very rich mothers in Monterrey, California, jockeying to attain the very best stuff for their offspring. Think Felicity Huffman buying a good SAT score for her child. These women would do that in a heartbeat. And I wasn’t very far into this when I realized that I didn’t give a shit about these rich bitches, nor did I care who committed the murder that gets the plot in gear. Simply not up my alley.
