Critics' reviews

"[2nd Season Review]: Even when Season 2 is messy — and it is, more often than not — the mess at least feels like the point."

Caroline Framke: Variety
"[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."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"'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."

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"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."

Sonia Saraiya: Variety
"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)"

Michael Starr: New York Post
"HBO's soapy melodrama is more annoying than entertaining, and its marquee cast can't correct that."

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"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."

Kevin Jagernauth: The Playlist
