s01e07 — You Get What You Need

Everything turned out to be painfully obvious. But someone laughed at us when we said that the three of us would kill. It turned out not even three, but five))

Waiting for the murder turned out to be much more interesting than the murder itself. But time is certainly not a pity, the actors' performance is beyond praise. It's even a pity that it ended.

Oh, and the soundtrack is as good as ever. Just for the sake of music, it was already worth watching the series.

👏🏽👏🏽👏

Who is watching them, flicking a lighter, in the last scenes, at the cemetery and on the beach (through binoculars)?

Who knows, but I thought the final was just amazing, that's a five-plus.
When there were literally five minutes left until the end of the episode, I even got nervous: the murdered man was shown, and the killer? (and it doesn't matter that I knew who it was after reading the book)
But the creators did not disappoint. The scene on the stairs with Perry and the wives is great. A suitable soundtrack, sea waves and such a denouement. Just goosebumps even.
And the final You Can't Always Get What You Want, by the way, came very close to the final scene on the beach. And all the same, I don't like the original ending (in the book, Bonnie actually confessed herself in the end).

Thanks to the creators for such an adaptation, I was looking forward to every Monday to get aesthetic pleasure from what is happening on the screen.
Thanks to the actors for such a game, which often made me shiver through. And thank you for the thoughtfully chosen soundtrack. As a result, a triple successful combo came out.
Just bravo!

An interesting ending. Personally, everything was unexpected for me, although now, looking back at all the episodes, you can logically come to such an ending
The series is on top, I really liked it

a good ending with great music, the acting deserves praise. I would like to pay tribute to Jean Marc Vallee for the beautiful shots. It was clear with Sigi's father even in the middle of the season. A very unexpected ending (which in fact was the whole season "from the opposite")

I won't lie if I say that this is the best thing I've watched lately. It turned out to be a great series, and I will wait for the second season (if there is one). I was a little unlucky when, after the very first episode, I came across a spoiler about the victim, but it couldn't spoil my impression. The series was the most dramatic from the very beginning.
I'm terribly sorry for Celeste, but her endurance can only be envied. At first, when she was lying on the floor, and even during the visit to the psychologist, there was only such a barely noticeable regret, but when she began to remember the details, I myself felt uneasy from all that cruelty. With a fist. On the stomach. A woman. With all my might. And the way she also solved problems with her son after all this is completely worthy of boundless respect.
Comparing Perry to a monster for children turned out to be far from just a joke, but a kind of allegory. He's actually a monster.: That's how to treat your wife... Moreover, for the rest, he was considered an ideal husband and man, because he played with children, was always kind to them, as well as to others, which is worth his conversations alone at the party.
Medeline, Jane have been a little sidelined for me in this series. Although it's hard not to mention Jane's trusting relationship with Ziggy, and all of Maddie's inner feelings and fears.
And, of course, the last scene was impressive! All of them didn't even need words to understand everything. The glances between friends, and the emotions that can be read on the face, were perfectly presented by the actors, whom I will now praise for a long time. And protection from her husband's beatings, even through her own well-being, is completely worthy of a thousand praises!
And spending time together on the shore ended the season very well. All children play with each other, even people who previously hated each other can now be in the same company. A shared secret brought them together.
When it was over, I had tears in my eyes. I exhaled with them.
A wonderful series! The actors are on top!
p.s. And I said that I always recognize the silhouette of Skarsgard and even with the lights off))

It's funny that from the very beginning we were shown this staircase, as Madeleine tears the ribbon and climbs it.
And it's good that the crime scene in the book was different, and the, ahem, "process" of the murder itself, too. The book does not suit the intensity of the situation in the series at all

It's a fucking fucking ending, damn it. How beautifully everything is staged and filmed, and Perry's murder is the best. MY BABIES KILLED HIM WITH FIVE OF THEM :') I just want to give him 38294893 stars, the actors are unrealistically fucking awesome.
But who was watching them through binoculars in the last frame?

A great ending, an amazing series. It was a pleasure to watch it. I agree with the opinion above, I haven't seen anything so worthwhile lately either. It doesn't even make sense to list the brilliant sides of this show - every detail of it is done to perfection. I will only mention the acting, which captivated me from the first episode. Just watching and admiring.
The tension level at the end is just off the scale, right up to goosebumps, especially in the scene where Jane REALIZES, and the rest of the heroines looking at her, also understand everything. And my God, how nice it was to see the dead hero of Skarsgard))) It's like an outlet after all that bastard's been doing.

I'll probably express an unpopular opinion, but I don't want a second season. The series emotionally feels finished, and any attempts to continue it will seem forced and unnatural. And I don't want subsequent seasons, according to the trend, to spoil the previous ones. Especially when the first one is made at such an unattainably high level.

One of the best TV series endings I've ever seen.

Oh, my God! The ending is just a bombshell! there were suspicions that the ending would be merged, that everything would be crumpled
up, but no, it's beautiful!
I will support sucklife_i2015, this is the best ending that I have seen
a great stylized party, performances, disclosure and remorse of the main characters
, a very strong and tense moment when they understood everything about Perry, so many emotions and all this without words! It's amazing!
the climax, in which calm music sounds, waves roar and all this is in contrast to a life-and
-death struggle. Delight!

How happy I am with this ending, much more than the book one. And how to figure it out, he was on the very edge, he could have fallen himself, in a fit of his anger, when he kicked his wife. The fact that Bonnie pushed him, it's just a small thing. It's great that the case was covered up like that. Such a specific happy ending. The innocent were not harmed, the guilty were punished.
How "funny", Perry called himself a monster in front of children and was one in reality. He beat his wife behind a closed door, hoping that his children would not see him. And these excuses of his in the car, he wanted to be treated, he would have gone to a specialist, to believe such a thing, not to respect himself. Celeste pleases me in the end, she still left him, before this incident.

An incredibly gorgeous ending! The whole series turned out great, I've been waiting for the film adaptation for so long and all expectations were met. A series that will definitely be in my best; a series that definitely needs to be recommended for everyone to watch. I haven't enjoyed watching it so much in a long time. Thanks to the creators and all the commentators on the site, without you it would be lonely enough for me to drink expensive wine in huge houses with a gorgeous soundtrack;)

An amazing ending)I enjoyed watching every episode))) All the shots, music, actors and their acting...I would watch and watch. Well, on the other hand, I'm glad that we were given a good decent story ...))

It turned out to be a good series, especially against the background of what is going on now. The soundtrack was especially successful. Well, the cast is great

I was so scared for Celeste when Perry said that the agent called you there about the apartment...

There is an Ikea in Monterey too :))

In short, for women who hated each other fiercely to become best friends, they only need to bang one man together... Female friendship is so unpredictable! XD


And the series is wonderful! I really liked Kidman. And, as many have noted, the music is beautifully chosen.

And by the way, does everyone in this city sing fucking cool?!!
I listen to Bonnie - I think "yoga, veganism... drama club, photo club... and I also want to sing))) She's good, she's a devil!" (but that's okay, this daddy's daughter, it's a sin not to sing XD).
Then Ed's song made me feel really emotional, as if I was the one who cheated on him...
and then Nate got on stage too!
In short, can I have a couple of albums from the participants of this amateur competition??

It's a great series.
From the screensaver to the final scene on the beach.
The direction, the acting, the cinematography, the sound and the story itself all merge into a harmonious work.
As many have already noted, and I think they will say again, this is one of the best TV series of recent times.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed everything in a complex so much, without singling out something private from the whole.
That's just a thrill.
I decided not to read the book before viewing, so as not to spoil the impression.
But now it's her time :)
Thanks to the creators of this little miracle!

This series can be watched at least for the sake of music.
I liked the ending incredibly, although there were a few questions left, in the spirit of: Does Madeleine still confess to Ed?

The actors' game 10/10
Soundtracks 10/10
Shooting 10/10

Definitely, this series will be included in my top of the best TV series of 2017.

There are only 7 episodes, but how much sense does it make?
And it's hard to come up with a better ending.
Everything is in its place, all the characters are perfectly revealed.
I would like to mention the soundtrack separately, it is divine)

how beautifully everything is presented. I'm thrilled.
the last 30 minutes were in wild tension, and not because there was little to understand, but because of the shooting, acting and soundtrack, the perfect tension! Thanks to the creators.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the series so much. I want to say thank you for the amazing cast, the music is just at the highest level, the final scenes made me cry. it's a pity that there are only 7 episodes. but with what a soul!

It's so cool that it turned out that way. Yes, obviously, but what a satisfaction. It would have been unbearable if Perry hadn't been killed. The most feel-good (in fact, serious) drama on TV.

"You... straight?", I love this moment.
And by the way, as for me, a gay man was introduced here for the sake of a tick. It would be more interesting if there was something interesting with him.

An incredibly interesting series, and the cast... It's a real sight! Everything turned out to be interesting, colorful, with good music, in general, on top. I wish there were more such amazing TV shows.

does anyone know what the average ratings were on the airwaves?

I watched the episode half an hour ago, and the tears don't stop flowing. And not from the fact that everything is bad or that the series is over, but from the emotions that overwhelm me.
To be honest, I'm thrilled with literally everything. Actors, game, plot, turns, emotions, soundtracks(!), denouement, e.t.c, e.t.c. I have not read the book, and now I do not want to change my impressions. The scene on the steps is just great - Jane's realization, how the girls understood everything in her eyes, how Perry eventually understood everything himself, the beating of Celeste and the other girls, interspersed with waves, and of course Bonnie. It would seem predictable - but nothing like that, I'm still in shock. So few episodes, but so much meaning. And I join those who do not want a sequel - these seven episodes are so great (as they are finished) that it is enough to review and enjoy it again.
P.S. Special thanks for the last scene on the beach, and especially for the moment when Celeste turns to the sun, closes her eyes and inhales the sea air. Svoboda.
P.P.S. I think that all the actors were absolutely great, but Kidman... I don't have the words.

I predicted even in the first fragments with the rape of Jena that this is the sick loony. The picture, the music, the characters, the actresses, the game - all this splendor simply immerses you in this situation. I've read the book, most likely I won't, because I've already tried watching a movie first, and then reading the outcome alone is no longer interesting.
I really like the atmosphere of the film, as filmed...The perfectionist in me is stamping his feet with happiness.
By the way, I don't know if there will be a sequel, can you tell me?

read the book, it will be interesting and readable in a day)

The silent scene is just amazing when Jane realizes that it's him, turns her eyes to Madeleine, Madeleine gets it, and then Celeste...uuuuh, this is so cool! Very cool actresses, bravo! I applaud.

It's a bit of an off-series question, but it's about a sore point. For what, in fact, are some comments negative? For inconsistency with your point of view? Okay, I can still understand that, especially if there is a point of view below. But when there are disadvantages, just at a moment when a person talks about his poor knowledge of the language... This is strange, to say the least.
I feel like a rebalancer hD

the finale, like the whole series, is so perfect

What a beauty, not a TV series! It is very good that they fit into only 7 episodes, and did not drag on with several seasons. A very holistic impression of the filming, the music, and the acting.
Who can tell you the shade of Reese's lipstick? I just looked at him for all 7 episodes))

An amazing series, shot very beautifully))

that's how you should shoot fucking TV shows! other series need to take an example from this masterpiece. the completeness of the plot on a great note, not being drawn out, which plays a not unimportant role in the series, a wonderful soundtrack at the end leaves a good mood for the whole day, camerawork is generally. the only thing I didn't like about the camera was the ever-twitching camera, I wanted smoother frame transitions, but this is already a quibble.
the end was expected, but I did not think that they would end up with a happy ending.
and yes, the end was too simple and expected, my brain, as always, immediately thought about it, but threw it into the "basket", because I thought it would be too easy to think about Celeste's husband, but damn, sometimes you need to listen to your brain, and not think about everyone who is not lazy Ahahha.
but they surprised me with the killer, I knew for some reason that all three would be murderers or involved, but to Bonnie.
And anyway, I thought Ed would kill Bonnie's husband for some reason ahahhahah.
It's ridiculous to talk about it now.

There aren't even any words. The bomb! Goosebumps ran all series.

An amazing ending. how glad I am that we left almost everything (except for the line with Maddie's infidelity and the reason why Abigail abandoned her "project"), as in the book. I don't understand those who were waiting for some kind of super action. In my opinion, the series was not declared a psychological thriller with a detective basis a la Agatha Christie. Yes, all these notes of suspense were present, but to expect an unexpected ending in the face of the disclosure of the rapist is at least strange, in my opinion.
Scenes of Jane, Maddie and Celeste looking at each other, realizing who the rapist was..Uhhhh..I was just shaking all over from the way they conveyed all the horror and pain of awareness with just their looks.
And the last scene, when the prints in the sand are shown - this is how all Jane's nightmarish memories of that night began - and these turn out to be her son's footprints..It makes me cry that she could handle it.
In general, the acting is at its best, soundtracks, plot, shooting, personnel selection, editing...in admiration!))

After the series, I even began to love Skars a little less, he turned out to be so nasty Perry) I hope it will pass soon)

Aesthetic and compositionally finished frenzied pleasure - that's what it is. I just recently thought that it had been a long time since I came across anything that would make me hold my breath and immerse myself 100%. And here it is! I couldn't figure out for myself why I was so looking forward to the release of each episode, but something in this whole composition catches and doesn't let go. The actors' acting is really amazing, they show such a wide range of emotions without words. And the actors are such that you want to look and look at them. Plus camerawork.
And including the last episode, I was worried that they would not be able to leave with all the storylines, when suddenly everything is intertwined. By the way, we were actively hinted at by Perry right before the scene (he pours a drink, sticking out his little finger, previously they focused on this). I have not read the book, it only makes me more happy, although I found a couple of answers to my questions in the comments from readers. The only thing I see is a couple of similarities with the Lovers series (screensaver, geolocation, murder), but Lying wins out against it.
In general, definitely watch!

That's for sure: for such different women to come together, it was only worth killing one man!
In fact, I won't be able to look at Skarsgard properly for a long time, I so wanted to crush this reptile. In the last scene, I was all Bonnie, I couldn't help but do the same...
Thanks to the creators for a great time, I had a good time with the series.

The fact that one of Celeste's boys offended the girl became clear around the 5th episode...there were suspicions, so to speak.

A wonderful series. I'm afraid to start reading the book, spoil the impression.

I didn't read the book, the more interesting it was to watch. I didn't fully guess who was killed. I was thinking Renata, and it wasn't until the middle of the last episode that I realized it was either Renata or Perry. For some reason, I thought that Celeste would decide to take some step after all. Either kill him or leave him. But he won't let go so easily, so either she will kill him or he will kill her. Since it was not mentioned what the corpse was found by men or women.

The acting is on top of Nicole, Sheila, Reese. Nicole especially shone, she succeeds in all the roles, especially such tragically dramatic ones.

The powerful finale, the murder scene with footage of the raging ocean is an unreal pleasure, at least just to watch, but coupled with a spectacular soundtrack.. Oh, just fine.
I really liked the disclosure of the characters, I was surprised by Bonnie, I was surprised by Renata's emotionality, I was surprised by Celeste's determination. I was so worried about her, Kidman is playing for all 120%
The series is one of the best finds of the season, I've been in love with the atmosphere since the first episode
I will definitely read the novel

Justice has finally prevailed!
In part, everything was obvious: both the finale and the rapist, and the girl spoiled about the boy in the comments to the first episode. It's even a pity that the series is over. Moreover, this is a pretty good series. You get used to the characters, and then the series / books end and you feel empty.

You watched the episode, you sit in awe, and then you see the status of the series "DEAD"....oh,noooooo
I want another series with such beautiful views and actors!))

I really like the atmosphere of the series and the acting)

The moment when you want to erase your memory and watch this gorgeous series again.

God, what a great show.The ending turned out to be just bombastic, and I'm one of those few who didn't know how it would end, because I hadn't read the book.Although there were guesses, because Perry turned out to be the most dishonest husband, so he was rewarded for all his sins!Is that really all?The series is so lamp-like and at the same time exciting that it was the best time to relax while watching.How's it going without him now, huh?The status of "dead" killed me (sorry for the pun:D)

I agree with many of the comments above, but I can't help but write, this series is the best of all that I've watched lately! Starting with the screensaver and ending with the last scene. I am wildly delighted with this atmosphere in the series, from the masterful work of the cameraman, from the sudden change of frames, acting, soundtracks, script, etc. It's a great story, expertly brought to life. Thanks to Liana Moriarty for her, I will definitely read the book.

I would like to mention the entire cast separately, they coped with their task perfectly, completely immersing me in this story. I believed every gesture and look, and the last 20 minutes made my heart beat faster. The final shots, waves crashing against the rocks and a gorgeous sound. It's just creepy.

Thank you for the gorgeous series, I got an aesthetic pleasure! Just bravo!

It's a great series! Delight is delight.

It is worth paying tribute to the miniseries. And this one was no exception either! Wonderful music, magnificent views of the ocean and of course the acting - everything was on top! There is still a desire to review the last 5 minutes over and over again. Unconditionally, great job, I'm impressed beyond belief!

The clue at the end of the episode was how Perry poured himself a drink at the masquerade, with his little finger thrown back). And then I realized, for sure, he would fall victim to all those women who came down. Great mini-series! HBO is on top as always!

A predictable ending, but such a cool story, the acting, the soundtrack! In one breath!
A cool series!

The soundtracks, as always, are on top! The ending turned out to be predictable, but unexpectedly, it was Bonnie who killed him - but it's clear why she ended up in their company on the beach.
The series is the best thing I saw in 2016, it's not stretched, great, I wanted to read the book after! Soundtracks, acting (everyone from children to mature adults), houses, landscapes - everything is harmonious and strong!

Despite the fact that it was obvious who the bully was and who would be killed, the ending still turned out to be sensual. At least take these hugs after the murder! Everything is so sensual!
The acting is a separate song!
Perhaps this series turned out to be not only aesthetically pleasing to watch, but also sensually meaningful. I really enjoyed watching it, and I will definitely review it again!!
And, of course, the sounds! Excellent accompaniment!!! For this year (if we take, as a school year, Sep2016-may2017), then this is my 2nd favorite series after the young dad!

If I hadn't read the comments, I wouldn't have had anything predictable :)
Everything is gorgeous in this series! I will now buy the book 100%!

It's interesting how in the end all these completely different women, who had been fighting throughout the series, dressed up in different roles of the same actress and joined together...

I thought that the killer would be the most peaceful and good-natured)
The actor played very cool, I just hated this asshole. Too easy a death for such a creature.

Today, this is the best thing I've watched this year.

A good series, yes, a lot was predictable, but it didn't spoil the picture at all! The series dragged on, watching the episode it was difficult to break away and not start the next one. It's a pity that only season 1, it's a pity

But I just want to say one hundredth thanks for removing it. I was skeptical at the very beginning, but wooh. It's really something.
You don't think so in books about soundtracks, but here it's so atmospheric that you just watch and enjoy.
Thank you for the cast, for their acting, thank you for the music and for the denouement, despite the fact that you knew what would happen.
And it's really cool that this is the only season!

The fact that Ziggy's father was Celeste's husband was supposed to be because Jane didn't cross paths with him, his very behavior and it made me think... and I thought he was going to kill someone.
But they shot it perfectly! It was interesting to watch

The best TV series I've watched lately

And who said that female friendship does not happen?))
I wish they would shoot this more often. Although it was predictable that Perry was Ziggy's father, there was an unexpected ending with Max. And how beautifully all the plot threads intertwined at the end!
It feels like I've been spying on the neighbors for 7 hours, not watching the series) everything is so realistic, you believe the actors from young to old. I've always been extremely skeptical of Shailene Woodley, and now I take it back. It's a very soulful game.

It's great that the characters are unconventional, and there's not that crazy American pathos. The children were especially pleased. They are just ordinary children with ordinary childhood experiences here, and not omniscient, all-seeing and wise creatures capable of opening the eyes of confused adults (as they are usually portrayed in the movies).

Ziggy was the biggest mystery to me. He seemed to me both very sweet and very creepy. I'm even ashamed that I thought he was a little psychopath all the way. It's creepy to think that it's so easy to stigmatize someone in real life. It's creepy that an ideal man can later turn out to be an abuser. The situation with Madeline's betrayal also made me think about a lot.
And finally, for the first time on the screen, I saw how girls can be friends!) Not worse than those very Musketeers))

It's so cool that the book wasn't made into a movie, but a TV series where you can tell everything without hurrying, without cutting off the timing. It turned out perfectly! The cast is truly super-stellar, and this series only benefits from it. The plot, music, and cinematography are top notch. In a word, a masterpiece.

The series is beyond praise, that's what "don't judge by the first episode" means)).
Definitely falls into my top TV series. Great acting-you can feel the impact. And the soundtrack is wow

I read the book, and the series turned out much better. That's what the HBO level means!
Of course, the acting here is also excellent, the cast itself is incomparable! 👏
Most of all, I liked how they opened up the topic of domestic violence - such an influx from less to more with pleas for regret.
Celeste, Jane and Madeleine came off the books perfectly! The series' screensaver, music, dialogues and the film adaptation itself are 5/5! 👍

Both the book and the series are definitely worthy of attention. Just great!

I'm thrilled!!! Great ending)))

Will there still be a sequel?

The actresses are amazing, the music is beyond praise, the quality is excellent. The series is worth the time.

The series is very stylish, the cast is beyond praise, they are the ones who "pull out" the series, but the plot disappointed me - especially after so many positive reviews... As far as I understand from the comments above, there is at least some explanation in the book why Jane meets Ziggy's father in the city where she is moving, but in the film it doesn't even look like a piano, but just an organ in the bushes - of all the people in America, op, and this is her friend's husband! :))) What I liked was that the theme of abuse - domestic violence - and how this mechanism works in the abuser's head is shown very strongly, very realistically and eerily. The work of a psychologist is also very adequately shown, which I see in films, unfortunately, not so often.

A gorgeous fight scene in the finale - people hitting and waves hitting.

The ending is predictable, but I liked it anyway. And this rarely happens.

It's a great series. I don't regret the time I spent on it.
Excellent cast, excellent shooting quality and great soundtracks.

I am calm about the fact that the plot, characters, and lines change in the film adaptations, but here I still can't help but note that I didn't like that Bonnie's motives weren't revealed.

But the series is certainly worth watching, and all the dramatic deviations from the original plot are quite appropriate.
And the work of the operator is generally a delight.

I started watching the series because of the acclaimed cast and didn't regret a bit! 7 hours flew by like an instant! A high-quality, deep, thought-provoking series.
And how glad I was that I didn't start reading the comments ahead of time, because I was a little shocked by the finale! If by the end it was clear who the victim of the crime would be, then I didn't even have a clue about Ziggy's real father.
the characters are perfectly written out, the actors played their roles perfectly, the soundtracks are at the highest level, a pleasant picture, an intriguing plot- 10/10, I will definitely read the book and advise my friends
. P.S. the men of the series so hot

When the first episode showed the real situation in the family of Celeste and Jane, hiding the identity of the son's father, but suffering from nightmares and slightly afraid of her own son, it was immediately clear that Ziggy was not the fruit of a normal relationship, who was his father and who was the victim. The school bully was also easy to spot, considering that both of the twins' parents were crazy, and Ziggy's mother was still much more normal than Celeste.

Yeah, even if women can compete and dislike each other, but when a certain situation occurs, for example, like this, they can unite and help each other, despite the dislike. And it's very amazing every time!

The last episode caused a lot of emotions, especially in the last scenes of violence. I was very worried about the main characters.
It made me shudder and even tears came.
What a gorgeous acting, the atmosphere and the sounds that create it!

And yes, I was sure that Ziggy wasn't to blame. The whole series was touched by him, he's so pretty, considering that I don't really like children.
It didn't reach the last one who was killed, and the killer was even more unexpected.

The only thing I still don't understand is how Jane only recognized him at the end of the series. They're friends, haven't they ever seen each other's family members? Okay, in reality, but at least photos like "this is my husband, this is me with the kids, we went on vacation," and everything like that.

It remains to read the book, and to talk a little with Nikanor. Although I think that the series can just be perceived separately, it is very good and beautiful in itself. (I understand that if it hadn't turned out well, then there would have been complaints).

In general, at the beginning I put 4/5, and now I'm under the impression I'm thinking about whether to put another star. That's how it is.

I almost cried from the ending: they were together, on the beach, and besides, the music was perfect.

Yes, the series is definitely worthy of attention: it's light, the acting is excellent. I've always treated Witherspoon with disdain, but now I realize that she's a wonderful actress. Nicole Kidman, of course, is also on top, started watching the series only because of her.
In general, we did a good job, it turned out to be 5+!

It's a great series finale, which is definitely one of the best I've ever watched. As for the soundtracks, they're just perfect.

It's a good series, but in my opinion, it was slightly spoiled by the absolute predictability of the plot. The creators themselves are even to blame for this. that the rapist was so clearly shown in Jane's hallucinations. Well, then the plot went the most obvious way, which immediately appears in my head in the middle of the season.
However, the series draws out great acting and strong directing, and it looks very easy and interesting.
7/10

An amazing, magnificent series. Gorgeous Kidman, I'm going to dream about her now. I watched all 7 episodes in one gulp a few days ago, but I still remember him. And especially the last scene. The best thing I've seen lately.

For the ending with Perry - 5+))

It's the best thing I've ever seen. For me personally, everything about this series is perfect: its atmosphere, landscapes, costumes, actors, interiors of houses, dialogues, families, and so on. It's a separate world, not a TV series, and I want to be their neighbor, friend, and take my kids to the same school. It's a pity that there are only 7 episodes, I would have watched 10 seasons if there were so many. Although, maybe if there had been 10 seasons, the impression would not have been the same.

An amazing series, it captured attention from the very first minutes, a beautiful screensaver, music, magnificent actresses, the end struck to tears from female solidarity, when the warring women understood everything at such a moment and rallied, it is very touching! And the main thing is, of course, the acting, it's a pleasure to watch, perhaps the best series of this year!

First of all, Kidman! Awesome!!! I mean, of course, I knew she was a good actress, but these scenes at the psychologist's are just aerobatics! And, by the way, the psychologist is adequate. I was also very pleased.
Secondly, Witherspoon), whom I have never appreciated very much, but here she plays very cool, I really, really believe her character. I just have a question: what exactly did she do in the theater? Volunteering for 20 hours a week, and? Other than having a fight with someone about an inappropriate play, and then calling a friend to defend her interests in front of the mayor? Was that her job in the theater? And then after the premiere she was so congratulated that I thought she was an "executive director", no less)))

I really liked that a lot of important topics were touched upon in the series (not only about domestic violence, but also about the relationship between spouses (especially when the marriage is long), and about parents and children, and about difficult choices when you're a teenager, and about violence in general, too ...)
Everything is very cool in the last episode. tied together. There is no need for any continuation, this is an absolutely finished story. Just let there be more such cool series for the joy of the audience.

Damn, in Thursday's episode, I had a hunch who Ziggy's father was, but I dismissed it as too improbable. But in the final! I don't like to guess, but it's like I put everything on red and won. It's a great ending, and the series, I thought it was delayed a little bit at first, but no, everything is as it should be.

And most importantly: how did the actor who played Perry play. He was so perfect that he inspired perfect horror and such hopelessness that it became creepy.

It's a great series, and the ending almost didn't disappoint. It's nice to see that the girls don't live on past grudges, but maintain good relationships. the shared secret only brought them together.

PS the song that Ed sang at the masquerade party: Elvis Presley — the wonder of you, if anyone is interested)

There are no words

I want to say a few nice words about Bonnie. No, all the actresses are great, but Bonnie was very infuriating from the very beginning with her correctness, and I only began to appreciate her around the fifth episode. And when she shoved and killed Perry, I really respected her. The opinion about her has radically changed from the first episode to the last.

I was waiting until the last moment for something to happen to Madeleine's lover and his wife, but as I understand it, he "went to the bathroom" just to keep the intrigue with the corpse until the last minute)

I was very impressed with the scene in which the friends realize that Perry is Jane's rapist. It's well played, even without words. Just bravo!

I guessed who was going to be killed almost immediately, but it didn't spoil watching the finale.

I liked how in the end all the broads reconciled and united, although before that 7 episodes were ready to grab each other by the throat.

Perry is terrible, Skarsgard is beautiful)

Delight!!! I didn't know who was killed until the last minute.
Actors, script, ending 10/10!!!!

Pancake...It's a little predictable that Jane's rapist is Perry, but that didn't spoil my impression of watching the series either. The performance of Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley in this "silent" scene is beyond praise. As always, the soundtrack is just perfect. And by the way, I fully believe in Bonnie's strength, because she taught some self-defense techniques on the TV series.
P.S. I haven't read the book.

A very interesting series with a great ending! The acting is excellent, I liked the cameraman's work, the plot is excellent. In general, there is nothing more to add. I absolutely do not regret the time spent on the series and it is a pity that it is over, I would love to watch the second season.

Everything turned out to be extremely obvious. Very sorry

The acting is great. Soundtracks are bliss. The tension in the last episode is simply unreal!
I will recommend it to everyone I know, because you can't miss such a masterpiece :)

As is often the case with film adaptations, "the book is better."
a hellishly featureless ending. how well it was served and spelled out in the book is so crumpled here.
and all the left-wing storylines introduced in the series are not entirely clear why. without them, the narrative would be more complete.

What wonderful music there is in the series! The emotions of the characters, the beautiful views and this music combine so wonderfully, evoke so many feelings. Very beautiful.

For some reason, at the beginning of the episode, I thought that Ed was the killer, because for some reason the whole series thought that Maddie was killed. He once said in the series that he needed to blow off steam since high school and Madeline would confess to cheating and he would kill her, but she did not expect such a turn. In general, the couple Perry and Celeste evoked in me the most vivid emotions for the series, even if they were not entirely positive.
A great series, I thought for a long time whether to watch it or not, but Adam Scott decided everything for me)) It's even surprising to me that the series is based on almost nothing but dialogues and I wasn't bored.
The picture is very beautiful, but I'm not talking about the soundtrack at all. In short, wild delight!

extended

Was it extended or is there something wrong with the status again?

At first glance, the series is completely easy to watch. It's really beautifully shot, great soundtracks, and the cast is well-chosen.
However, there are topics and problems that you can't help but think about. Some kind of aftertaste or something.
And yet it turned out to be very bright somehow. And it just can't help but rejoice :)

one of the best TV series of 2017

У сериала официально будет второй сезон: http://tvline.com/2017/12/08/big-little-lies-renewed-season-2-hbo-nicole-kidman-reese-witherspoon/

As much as you can pull the series back and forth, then there will be a sequel, then there won't be. It would be better not to. It all ended so logically.

Despite the fact that since the middle of the season, I assumed who would be killed at the end, the finale still turned out to be very different, as well as the whole series as a whole. I want to thank the creators for such a thing, as they raise very important topics (even in this period of time), such as domestic violence, problems in the parent-child relationship. Everything about this series is great, from the soundtrack and atmosphere to the cast. I don't really know what the second season will be about, but I will definitely review the first one from time to time, as the impressions from it are indescribable. In general, the series entered my personal top for 2017.

and, by the way, I was pleasantly surprised to see a "Young Sheldon" in the series, like a one-year-old series, but he didn't grow up like that...

It's a great series. There are simply no words. I already knew from the second episode who the rapist was, but I still thought maybe someone else was involved. The acting is simply brilliant. The last episode was bothering me for a minute, and my nerves were on edge. I even burst into tears at the end. On the one hand, it's creepy - the murder and how it all happened. but on the other hand, Celeste freed herself from her monster, which she already wanted to escape from (of course, not the best way, but it turned out that way), and she also freed herself from her tormentor. Bravo to the series and the cast! The only thing I regret is that I didn't read the book at first, but now I think it's probably too late and it won't be so interesting.

And I'm thinking of reading it, it's not the first time that I'm convinced that a book can be a lot different from a movie, and a lot could have been overlooked from the plot.

And the second season can be removed. I agree that the painting is beautifully finished, but ... they can develop a plot with the investigation and recognition of Bonnie, with the disclosure of her past (it was not for nothing that she pushed Perry), with the establishment of relations in Maddie's family

By the way, I couldn't quite figure out who the victim would be, and I was looking forward to the finale.

What a gorgeous scene on the stairs, when they realize without words that "damn it, it's him," it just gives them goosebumps. It was worth a whole series! Overall, it was beautifully shot, and so is the soundtrack. To be honest, I didn't expect anything special from the cast, but now it's awkward, because they pleasantly surprised me. We need to show this series as a standard of acting.

Celeste didn't deserve all this... She hooked me the most in this series. But the cast is simply the best!!!

To be honest, it's all been in Desperate Housewives before.

What an amazing series! The cast is unrealistic, the themes raised in the series are so topical and so realistically depicted that you want to cry. You really empathize with every character, especially Celeste and Jane. What a terrible injustice, I just want to scream from the rooftops! And there are millions of such cases....
The soundtrack is excellent, the ocean shots are amazing, I immediately wanted to go to the sea. It's a great new product, I'm really glad that I finally watched it.

It's not a bad idea to consider abuse, cheating, and rape from a psychological point of view and as shown in the series. Can anyone recommend something similar from the TV series?

In the second season, Perry's mother will play Meryl Streep! What a news!

It's a very cool, very gentle, beautiful visual and it shows people's problems very well.

Chekhov's phrase "People are having lunch, drinking tea, and at this time their destinies are crumbling" is very suitable for describing this series.

A good series, if only the second season didn't spoil anything))

Schikaaaarno!

An amazing series

It's just amazing. In addition to the wonderful visual and soundtrack, I would really like to mention the excellent cinematography and the directing itself in general. All those short and sudden flashbacks that hit you in the heart (Celeste, darling, how have you suffered!), this composition of fast-paced shots and images, just pure and multiple orgasms, oh.

I looked at it in one gulp, it was impossible to tear myself away.... ahhh ) and the acting , and the plot , and the video sequence, everything is perfect and at the same time incredibly vital and realistic. I want to review the fret after a while. 10 out of 10

In the first episodes, I realized that Celeste's husband was the rapist, and I really hoped. that they wouldn't kill him. I also guessed about the child rapist after the bite, in general predictably. The only thing unexpected was the killer himself - he thought it would be Jenn or Celest, but here it's so ironic. :D But overall I liked the series. Nicely.

If we take the series separately from the book, then it's a solid 4. But the fact is that I literally finished reading the novel at night, so the series caused confusion. A lot of shit has been done, and I'm sorry, but Kidman is a great actress, but not for the role of Celeste.
In general, I didn't like the way the characters were played. Not the actors themselves, but the scriptwriters who redid the plot!
The ending is so terrible! Everything is clear and precise in the book, but here they give some kind of ridiculous plot line. Why is this necessary? I don't know what they're going to come up with in the second season, but I haven't heard about the second part of the book...

Great cast, acting, soundtracks, filming locations! Maybe somewhere it was clear who was going to be killed and who, but that didn't make the series any less interesting. The final scene of all the heroines with children on the beach without dialogues and the soundtrack perfectly matching the atmosphere is the best ending for the season!
Throughout the season, each of the heroines was a little annoying (Celeste for tolerating such an attitude, Madeline for meddling in other people's affairs, Renata for behaving like that with Ziggy and Jane), but in the end we see such unity between them. We are waiting for the continuation!

Women power. :) A very beautiful montage with waves and an attack. And the finale is on the beach.
The series didn't go anywhere, it was very tedious, I squandered half of it. But how perfectly Reese was cast, wow.
The music is very cool in the series, the filming is very beautiful. I assumed and hoped that this particular asshole would die. It's scary, though, that if it hadn't been for Bonnie, things might have ended differently.

And yet Annabelle acted meanly by pointing at Ziggy, why frame him if she knew he was innocent? I just wouldn't say anything. Well, of course, a discount on the fact that these are children, that's all..

Why didn't they say it was over??

I really liked the metaphor at the very end of the episode, when the raging waters of the ocean (or sea) beat against the rocks, echoed the episode when Celeste's husband beat her, which indicates his instability. Unfortunately, a better word slipped my mind.

I really liked the metaphor of the waves crashing against the rocks, and how it all echoed with the very scene of Celeste being beaten.

Seriously? You can't delete comments either? If you saw my first comment, then I apologize for this nonsense, I couldn't write a normal comment right away.

I swallowed this beautiful thing in 2 days and I don't regret a single moment. Now I want to read the book and compare it. I usually don't like watching the film adaptation BEFORE the book, but the actresses and actors have so successfully embodied their characters that I can't imagine anyone else now. I especially can't stop thinking about how amazing all 5 heroines are, each played a solid ten, and it was incredibly pleasant to watch them in one frame. They only get more beautiful as they age. I couldn't take my eyes off them during the screensaver, and each one turned out to be a beautiful Audrey.
Well, a tribute to Adam Scott, for playing the (next) nicest guy on Earth. I was so worried that he would turn out to be the main cunt, but it turned out)

In fact, I will recommend this series to my friends, because the main topic - abuse in all its brightest manifestations - is too sharp a topic, and I believe that you can learn not only from your mistakes, but also from others, too, and be at least a little more careful, to figure out a little earlier what kind of people surround you. - it's very important. Every time Perry beat his wife, tears welled up in my eyes and my heart sank, it was impossible not to feel it, even if I hadn't experienced the abuse myself. And if something like this happened to you, then even more so, so I send rays of strength and love to all the girls watching this coolest series (though I don't know what you can do in season 2).

On episode 3, I realized who the rapist
was a little predictably, but I liked the series

No series has ever been made so cool by predictability. It's so mundane, so nothing happens except talking and solving family squabbles, but coupled with top-level acting, some kind of cosmic montage and perfect music, it turned out to be a real candy. It's really something new, like a breath of fresh air.

Everything was clear with all the characters. And yet, how symbolic that Bonnie was the one who pushed Perry! The only ideal among such imperfect women with complicated stories was that it was obvious that there was drama behind Bonnie's soul, which led her to the way she is now. Very cool. The father was a rapist or an ex, but something was for sure.

And how good was the story of domestic violence! I mean, she was terrible, but the way it was conveyed was from hard sex, when you and Kidman's character think it's cool and passionate. Oh, what a hot Skarsgard. Then the violence increases and you and Celeste convince yourself, but he's a wonderful father! He's so cute! And so it progresses with each episode... And in the finale, you push the asshole down the stairs with Bonnie. At least that's how it was for me, I didn't hate Perry right away. And it's just perfect that the director and the whole team did this to me in just 7 episodes. This is art.

If it's about intrigues... Who else thought there was something wrong with Madalene's eldest daughter and her husband (you can't mention all their names), Ed? In the second season, it's not Ed Lee who's going to be killed... I hope these are just tricks to confuse the viewer, because Ed is such a darling.

10 out of 10 is simply excellent

Incredibly beautiful picture, stunning landscapes, magnificent cast, atmospheric music conveying every moment, interesting plot. This series is just a one hundred percent hit in the mind and heart.

I was very pleased with the series. Everything is on the level. I especially liked the psychological component, it was realistic.
The last episode is just a bombshell. A very strong moment near the stairs. God, what a monster Petty is. And it's good that at least the moms found out the truth about the children, although society is unlikely to take it as easily and change their views.

A wonderful series

The shooting style is not for me, but I looked at it anyway. It's not very clear why they couldn't say that it was self-defense, they have it easier there, he attacked, they defended themselves as best they could, why they came up with the "stumbled", of course they won't believe them and will continue to dig under them.

A very strong and emotional ending. Kidman played admirably, one of her best roles.

Now it's clear why Skarsgard won the Golden Globe, he plays just great in this series. So you have to be able to disgust yourself with great acting. Thanks to the comments that I read during the viewing, which came across versions of who was killed, who is the rapist and why all the bumps go to poor Ziggy. Above, everyone said many times that I don't see the point in repeating myself. It's a great series.

So, well, personally, I guessed everything except who exactly is going to be killed. There were several options. And it's a good thing I didn't read the comments.

A cute little TV series, a wonderful cast, music and a picture.

When is the second season?

THE NEW SEASON IS COMING SOON, WHY ISN'T THE ADMIN UPDATING?

Fuck it, Perry is Ziggy's father
Boney inadvertently killed Perry, and that's it, she became everyone's girlfriend, is it all strange
when there's already a new season???

The final scenes on the beach are amazing. It's nice to see these women happy with each other and with children.<3

The actors, music, and style of the series are great, but the finale was disappointing. Somehow, everything is banal, it does not cause the surprise that usually arises after watching detective series, when at the end you are shocked by the unexpected outcome. Here, everything is typical: the worst type, offended everyone, he was accidentally (well, in a fit) pushed down the stairs, almost self-defense. Nothing so amazing. There was such a long intrigue - both the killer and the victim were kept secret throughout the season, that it seemed like there would be a shock. And the implementation is boring. And they didn't reveal, imho, the line about Jane and her friend's rapist husband, well, she recognized him, and that's it... Like her meaningful glances made her friends understand everything? I don't know, I wanted more, a conversation there, some kind of revealing scene...

I don't have the words. This is an unreal series, with great actors, shots, music and plot. This is one of the best TV series. It reminded me a lot of my favorite Twin Peaks. I'm thrilled

The premiere of the second season on June 9 on HBO
is the first teaser: https://youtu.be/sE4nEouaU60

Boring. The sluggish plot was revealed to me on the third episode. I hoped to the very end that everything would not be so obvious, but no. There is no proper escalation of the situation from episode to episode, we just look at the change of scenes and topics for conversation of the characters (and not always). The only thing that draws out the series is the cast. Everyone plays perfectly, even the minor characters look interesting, not to mention the main female trio.

I'm looking forward to the second season with Meryl Streep!

It's an amazing series, worth watching at least for the sake of the cast.

The denouement turned out to be simple and... logical. Except that Amabel's abuser remained a mystery to me until the last. Someone made suggestions in the comments with a logical explanation, but I didn't see it. It was only in the last episode that we were shown that the twins could actually witness their parents' quarrels, which is where their cruelty comes from.

I even had a good idea from about the middle of the series how the murder would happen. Although usually in TV shows I don't see how it will end until the last one. This is probably my first time. But I must say, it was no less interesting to watch. I "swallowed" the whole season over the weekend. I'm scolding myself now that I didn't prolong the pleasure.

The only real question is what will happen in the second season now? The story turned out to be quite complete, all the ends were closed... Now it's time to start all over again. Does anyone know if the author of the books was involved in writing the script for the second season?

That's it. I would never have thought that chatting against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes with beautiful music could be so addictive. This rarely happens to me, but while watching it, I was right there, and when the credits started, I realized that I was sitting in my apartment. Miracles, that's all.

what a scary series... heartbreaking and frightening... Amazing! The cast, the idea, everything is just great!

It 's a cool episode , people like that have to die ...

A wild ending. Until the last moment, I thought that another person would be killed.

The denouement with Jane turned out to be incomprehensible to me. It was said more than once in the series that Celeste couldn't get pregnant for a long time because of the stress at work and Perry supported her. But the twins and Ziggy are the same age... It turns out that Perry cheated on Celeste during his business trips, because Jane lived in another place or what?..

It's a great series, I'm waiting for the second one to be released in full.

It's too homegrown... but at least there was humor, intrigue, unexpected turns, active actions, and then only in the last 10 minutes of the last episode they tensed up, and then the sound was turned off, I fucked up! so they will never surpass them even close, let them not try.👆😏 when they start writing their original stories, otherwise I can copy and paste too))

Yes, Perry is Ziggy's father, everything was specially thought out so that Jane would not meet him during the entire season, remember, Celeste and Perry could not go to the premiere of Madeleine's performance when Jane was there and could easily recognize him; he was on the move all the time, so she did not see him at school either, That's how it happened that her rapist and the child's father were around all the time. And if by the old woman you mean Renata, then it seems like she has become kind to everyone and will also remain silent like the others; she also fits into their "gang". But in fact, you're right, she didn't do anything to him at all, just a witness, although then it was only Boney's fault, because the others were only trying to pull him away from Celeste without causing any serious harm to his health.

If anything, the answer is @frutonyanya, he just went down somewhere.

And I like Madeleine's outfit more than the others.

Can you tell me, who knows what kind of melody was played at the end of the cemetery and during Celeste's memories of the murder?

The ending is epic!

Strongly. Very strongly.

The moment when Jane realizes it was Perry has been revisited several times. Just brilliantly played! Not a word (they would be superfluous), just those eyes of all three actresses, in which one can read the awareness and horror of what is happening. And that beating scene in the finale made me so nervous that when Bonnie pushed Perry, I involuntarily exclaimed, "Finally!" I agree with the opinion above that Bonnie seems to have her own skeletons in the closet, and she's not as simple as it might seem at first glance. I was very worried about Celeste all the time, especially when she was in someone else's apartment, I kept thinking that Perry had tracked her down and would show up there. Kidman is great, as is Skarsgard, he played so well that he involuntarily disliked the actor)))
All the music in the series is just gorgeous, special thanks for it.

It's a bit unfortunate that everything turned out to be so simple in the end, and I was trying to build some complicated theories. Because the idea that it's Perry who's Jane's rapist comes quickly, but it seems like they had to twist the script a little harder.
But all the same, the detective component faded into the background, it was just interesting to watch the everyday life of these people.

Yeah, it's a good season, but the outcome is as obvious as possible.

What a gorgeous series in every sense: the atmosphere, the views, the script, the actors, the game, the denouement. Seven episodes in one go, waiting for an amazing finale. I was absolutely delighted! I even regret a little that I constantly postponed the viewing "for later". It's a decent story, I recommend it to everyone.

I read a book, and then I decided to watch the series) I liked. Not everything is the same as in the book, of course, but it's even more interesting this way) The only thing that upset me was that the series didn't promote why he introduced himself to Jane that way.

@Tsarapkina_n: I totally agree with you! @owlways watch the Mindhunter series. The series reveals serial maniacs, most of them victims of either sad childhood, abuse, psychological trauma, etc., etc. And this is very sad, and we need to deal with such social problems so that as few psychos, maniacs, and murderers as possible appear from them. Whatever the reasons that Perry is a complete scoundrel, nothing justifies his (and others like him) cruelty, no one has the right to harm, maybe rape people. And the task of the victim in this case, Celeste, is to protect herself and the children first of all, and secondly, society from the criminal. Sooner or later, he would have hurt children or someone else if he hadn't been stopped.

The series didn't show up...

I join everyone's delight! There are no words ! It's a great series! I've been looking for something that will take my soul for a long time.
The actors, the music, the plot, the framing, the dialogues-everything is at the highest level.
I'll mention Woodley separately. A clear leap in acting. Beautiful girl. It just so happens that I've probably watched almost all of her work, starting with the TV series "Secret from My Parents" and ending with a movie about seafaring. In the same series, she really showed her acting!
I looked at Kidman with completely different eyes. Has she been given any Emmy yet? I've been going through all these fights with her. Together with her, she wanted to believe that he would change, that he was a wonderful father and that he loved her. And then I also wanted to run away with her.
Alexander his mother Skarsgard stole my heart back in school, when I was watching True Blood. Maybe that's why I couldn't hate his character, I hoped that he would change, that he was a good one. Although it is clear that if a man raises his hand once, it will not end.
I'm sending you a dream today and I'm running to watch the second season of this great series.

It was very painful and hard...but you know (no matter how cruel and rude it may sound), I'm happy with the ending. And it serves him right!

five witches gathered and overwhelmed the man)) and then we were sitting peacefully on the beach, having high relations.
the topic of domestic violence has been blurred, it would be better if some more questions were raised. As it is, the picture is very nice, the actors are good.

When it came to the rape of one of the heroines, I immediately thought of Celeste's scoundrel husband. But still, even though the ending was predictable, it was very very interesting to watch.
How that jerk Perry annoyed all the episodes, how I wanted him to get killed. And, lo and behold, a happy ending.

42:56 Celeste's husband pours alcohol and raises his finger up like the man who raped Jane, then the whole puzzle has worked out for me)))) Well, this is actually a very good move, few people would think of a good family man and a "wonderful" husband. Great ending and the series, I liked it.

I rarely do this, but I just really want to share my emotions.
The series looks VERY easy.
Ugh, how hard it is to write without spoilers)))
But these are the faces at the end, their looks when they realized.. this is amazing! How amazing they played!!! Just for the sake of the ending, you can watch the series. I admit, on the 4-5-6 series, I already wanted a faster denouement. And the wait was worth it :)

Lots of water. Everything is very, very expected

I don't know, it wasn't completely obvious to me who the victim would be, who the killer would be. I've watched too many crime stories behind my back, and I'm still a long way from playing Sherlock.🙃😸 What I can say is that at the same time I feel sorry for and don't feel sorry for the victim, at the same time I don't want to blame the killer, at the same time I understand the accomplices, but in fact this is murder. Oh, I love everything so ambiguous. You can draw a very useful conclusion for life - you do not need to delay and accumulate secrets and problems, solve them as quickly as possible, and it is better not to do it yourself. Psychologists are our everything in this world✌️

He's finally dead.

I liked the series very much, especially those good moments when you literally see the desires, fears and sufferings of the main characters. For example, when we see Jane running in one dress with a gun in her hands, Madeleine's dreams and so on. I've never seen a better series about everyday life, about everyday problems.

And the music is fantastic.

How similar are they to the TV series Elite

Whatever you want, this is my favorite series. He left her indifferent.

However, that was what had to be proved, but it was SOMETHING.
I'm sitting all in goosebumps.
Everything was great here: the color scheme, the editing, the music, the script, the actors. Kidman is definitely my favorite actress now.
I haven't read the book, but now I wanted to compare it.
Thanks to the series, now I can't get rid of the thought that I want to live by the sea.
I can't imagine what will happen in season 2.

For the first time in my life, I wasn't infuriated by Reese Witherspoon! It's crazy.... Is she really that good at acting?

And why doesn't anyone write about the incredible Nicole Kidman? It's just 100/10 of her role! Such an insanely sexy and at the same time "simple" mom on maternity leave.. God, her looks, her eyes are just crazy...

It's a very good film adaptation. Neither the Book nor the series has lost face.

An interesting series. And the cast is very well chosen, once again I'm surprised how difficult it must be for children to play in such series (at that age you can usually take everything to heart, and although their screen time is less than the adult cast, the way the children convey all the experiences). But now about the series itself. My expectations were raised with each episode. I will explain that the very course of the plot before the end of the series, as well as the ending itself, was the ideal course of the narrative and its logical conclusion. But the events after that, and this police investigation, were anticipating something more. Interrogations of the entire entourage. Pulling out the pitfalls. Police statements. All of this gave hints that something really scary had happened. And in the end, it did not materialize. No, the first season came out interesting enough to keep on screens, so watching is a must.

However......wow.....
I'm going to read a book now)))

Everyone praises the performance of the actresses in the last scene, and without belittling their merits, I want to pay tribute to the editor, cameraman and director in this scene - everyone who is responsible for which angle to shoot the actresses and then how to put the visual sequence. These peeks are made very clear to the viewer by exactly the right sequence of perfectly captured frames. Respectfully!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strong footage of beatings and murders. Very strong. Thank you for playing great actresses!

Ah yes, women, ah yes, well done! That's what I mean, unity against evil! I've watched the ending several times. And I'll review it again. It's a masterpiece!

Amazing acting!
It's a wonderful story!
I want to forget and review it again!

I don't know what kind of crazy detectives are upstairs in the comments - I sat for the last 10 minutes of the episode with my mouth open))))) "No one expected such a turn," I wrote to my friend immediately after watching, meaning myself by "nobody." The bastard, frankly, got his way, and women's solidarity has never been shown more clearly. An intriguing plot, perfect musical accompaniment, a cast that can compete with some "avengers" (including child actors who cope with their roles as if they were born on set), and magnificent ocean views - the series is 10 out of 10, I'm already running to watch the second season.

Footage of raging waves mixed with footage of Perry beating up women is just creepy. How cool it looked!

It was shot amazingly. Practically by the book, which is a huge plus (the guys who make the series on King, learn)).

Everything ended logically, I don't know why a second season is needed, but we'll see.

Wow 😍😍😍

How they all sing!

It's a great series. musical accompaniment as a selection. camerawork is on the level.
the idea itself is interesting: in addition to the detective line, several other serious problems have been considered.
I liked the selection of the actors, they played the roles well, in my opinion. and, of course, facial expressions. everything is actually written on the face. this is the scene where all three of them realize who the rapist was, or even Abigail's face in the scenes with her mother in the first episodes. all thoughts can be read in the face. a very good game in my opinion.
