	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: Even when Season 2 is messy — and it is, more often than not — the mess at least feels like the point."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Big Little Lies', sans Streep, was already perhaps TV's best ensemble (...) With Streep, it's like adding an infinity pool onto the balcony of your mansion that's already overlooking the bay."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Big Little Lies' is a series built to be as entertaining as it is enlightening, and they've pulled off both feats with great zeal."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"The show’s strength is that it makes the experience of inevitable catastrophe so watchable, like being enraptured by a car-crash in slow motion."	POS
United States	Michael Starr New York Post	"An all-star cast (...) and an absorbing story (...) that will keep you guessing each and every step of the way. Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"HBO's soapy melodrama is more annoying than entertaining, and its marquee cast can't correct that."	NEG
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"The adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel might seem stridently unrelatable, but it soon unravels into something richer, without dulling the knife edge thrills, darkly comic tone, and twisty plot developments."	POS
