What kind of watch this is
David E. Kelley builds a pressure cooker out of suburbia. Three mothers, one school run, and a murder that turns the neighborhood upside down. The tone is sharp, dark, and uncomfortably funny. You spend 12 hours watching women who seem to have it all fall apart in real time. It is a tense look at what happens when the facade cracks. Perfect for anyone who enjoys watching a house of cards collapse.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes rates the first season 93%, based on 199 reviews. Its consensus calls the show "bitingly funny" and "highly addictive." Metacritic assigns it 75 out of 100, a solid but unremarkable distinction. The second season climbs to 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 7.7 average from 271 reviews. Metacritic scores it 82 out of 100, suggesting the dark humor lands harder the second time. Ben Travers of IndieWire graded Season 2 a "B+," noting it feels "like an enjoyable epilogue" rather than a necessary addition. Time magazine listed the series among its top ten television shows of 2017.
How it did with audiences
Big Little Lies never chased the box office, so we measure its success in viewers who stayed for the finale. On TMDB, users rate it 7.9 out of 10. That is a solid score for a series about murders, marriages, and motherhood in a very exclusive neighborhood.
