    As silly and indulgent as ever, but Meryl Streep is a national treasure. I hope she lives forever.

    BLL's second season to me now feels like an A class celebrity soap drama. Things proceed with noticeably less tense thrilling sequences and with a far less witty and thought provoking screenplay. In spite of those differences, the production quality here is excellent and easily on a par with S1. Loved s1 but found s2 was not to my own personal taste.

    No second series slump here. Actually, sometimes it was too fast, going for short, staccato scenes, which can be frustrating because often the conversations begged to evolve much more. But this is a small niggle. This stellar cast of women is a buffet of flavours.

    To everything there is a season, and this is Streep’s. Monterey belongs to Mary Louise now. God help the five.

    Though there are a few moments where Kelley gives in to his tendencies for burlesque – as in the characterization of the principal of the elementary school attended by the main characters’ children – in the first three episodes, “Big Little Lies” retains the invigorating mix of dark comedy and drama that made the first season so special. ... Rather than running out of gas in its second season, “Big Little Lies” is more deliciously watchable than ever.
