Big Little Lies

I finished this series in only one day, and I think that pretty much says everything about how engaging and entertaining it is. The cast was phenomenal, and every performance was exceptional and captivating. Mary Louise frustrated me endlessly, but Meryl Streep’s performance was incredible. Then again, it’s Meryl Streep, she could play Batman and still nail it. I loved all the Monterey Five so much , but if I had to chose a favourite it would be Celeste. I also liked Renata from the beginning , she was just trying to protect her kid as best as she could. And *“I will not not be rich” *is just iconic. And don’t get me started on her idiotic husband, if I was her I would have reacted much worse to everything that he did, I hope season 3 does her storyline justice. I loved Celeste and Madeline’s friendship, they truly showed up for each other through everything and loved each other so much. What made this series stand out to me was how profoundly human it felt. It captured the complexity of people and their relationships, showing how everyone carries their own history, fears, and fears. The series explored forgiveness, of our past, our mistakes, our parents too, and reminds us that we’re all just trying to do the best we can for ourselves and the people we love. And it reminds us that is impossible to be flawless and to not make mistakes.
