Plot:
Based on the New York Times number-one bestseller by Liane Moriarty, this seven-part limited series is a subversive, dark-lit comedy drama about a murder. The series explores society's myth of perfection and the contradictions that lie beneath the idealised facade of marriage, sex, parenting and friendship.
In episode 1 of Big Little Lies, viewers will be introduced to the perfect families living in Monterey, CA. After establishing the characters, the show dives right into the story and takes viewers to the fundraiser for the local elementary school. Something goes horribly wrong, someone is dead, and school moms Madeline Mackenzie, Celeste Wright, Jane Chapman and Renata Klein might have something to do with it. This murder leads to a domino effect in the lives of all the characters and the show unveils dirty secrets hidden behind the glass doors of the perfect life.
The show has already received raving reviews from TV critics and all actors have been appreciated for their skills. Every episode is one-hour long. The miniseries constitutes seven episodes. The first episode airs on HBO at 9 pm EST and is available for online streaming as well.
