contains lust, murder, a missing person and cheeky, extremely self-aware lines like"I thought that was the whole essence of modern parenting, isn't it? Keeping them protected from reality for as long as possible so that when they finally emerge they can't cope and end up self-harming." A handsomely craggy Hugh Grant co-stars as Jonathan, Grace's husband and a children's oncologist; Noah Jupe plays Henry, their young son.
This isn't an inherently bad thing; part of the pleasure of watching erotic mystery thrillers such as this is the adherence to a formula and familiar beats like furtive glances and dramatic courtroom revelations. But even with this cast and this subject matter,Big Little Lies Season 1 struck the right balance between self-awareness and intrigue, with A-list actresses chewing scenery in the most delectable of ways, the meta cracks about the Frasers' insular bubble feel forced, and Kidman, Grant and the rest of the adult cast are unable to make the material crackle.
And there are undercooked efforts to provide some level of commentary, but they barely scratch the surface; they wind up seeming like lip service or totally missed opportunities.
I am done donating to NPR. I am tired of the liberal political punditry and NPRs collusion with the mainstream media to elect JoeBiden
As an American caught in the nightmare of 2020, something containing lust, murder, missing persons and just general angst is too much like reality for me to be interested enough to watch. So, basically, probably a good show, but not well timed.
I find it hard to believe that David E. Kelly could write anything that isn't worth a watch. Hasn't let me down yet...and yes, I loved season 2 of Big Little Lies...I will slog away!
Thanks. But I can switch the channel by myself.
