s02e02 — Tell-Tale Hearts

I waited a very long time for the first season to be released in full to watch it in one sitting. At first, I was very worried that the second season would turn out to be so sucked out of my finger, as it often happens when few people need (except producers) a sequel.
Oh, how wrong I was. Everything is perfect in this series: starting with the soundtrack, cinematography, actors, ending with the storyline and intrigue.
The new series opens up the characters from a completely different side, gives them an opportunity to get closer to them and their problems and experiences.

In general, I am waiting for the continuation! (I probably won't be able to wait for all the episodes to watch together...I've barely been waiting a week)

Give Laura Dern all the Emmys

The series is as always on top. It's always nice to look at a picture and feel the emotions of the characters. On the stage where Jane met Celeste in a cafe, she almost cried herself. Shailene Woodley perfectly conveyed everything her character went through!

If the water in Bonnie and her mother's visions is not a metaphor, then after the last shots it seems that Madeleine is the one who will go down at the end of the season.

It's really a shame about Ed. Since the first season. A very nice guy and such a slap in the face from a loved one.
Watching Celeste's sessions is physically painful. The man vomits into two parts. Love and hate. The exercise where she introduced Madeleine is cool.
So far, I haven't had enough Measurements. But I'm waiting, waiting for her to give everyone a fuck.. well, you get it)

A good series. Mary Louise will probably try to take custody of the children, the moment with "where were you?" rough. I feel sorry for Ed (song at the end), Madeleine doesn't deserve him. I wonder what happened to Perry's brother, maybe he's even indirectly responsible for his death.

This is probably one of the best episodes at the moment. And Laura Dern just set some new bar, it was a pleasure to watch her in this episode.

A wonderful episode, in principle, like all episodes of BML. I hope Ziggy and the twins can really accept each other and everyone will become a big friendly family.

An amazing series. The scene where Jane tells her son about the rape made my heart ache. Shailene is very good in this role.

I can't get enough of Zoey. What a beauty she is. I have no strength 😱😍

- It was an urgent matter.
"What's the emergency?"
- What do short people have?

:DD

1) Finally, they began to show Bonnie more. However, I would not like to develop the subject of visions any further... There is enough mysticism in other series as well.

2) I keep waiting for Mary Louise to do some kind of loud action or a terrible quirk, but so far nothing...

3) I wonder how the relationship between Ziggy and the twins will develop? Especially against the background of bullying of Renata's daughter in the past.

Now it's so unusual and sweet to see that Madeleine and Renata are now friends :3

- God, give the woman a minute!
*shows the fax from the car*
One of the best moments : DDDD

Madeleine and Ed's line is interesting.... Ed is just the sweetest person, with his subtle words...! I like them with the "shorty"! Let's see what this truth about cheating will result in)!
Renata is good in anger)))! And... she's always so stylish!)
And also, in my opinion, a significant moment when Mary Louise, having learned a lot of "new" things from Celeste, went to the police....
...The most interesting things are yet to come!!!

Laura Dern is still gorgeous in this role.

Did the story with Renata's husband come up earlier? All of a sudden, he was suddenly taken away, especially after her words about the magazine cover. And what kind of woman with glasses was driving away, he and Renata made eye contact, did anyone notice?

This knot tightens and becomes more entangled with each episode...The lies are piling up like a snowball and it's already scary to imagine what the final episode will be like.

This series is a complete aesthetic pleasure, it's just that every frame is perfect!Not the cast, but a delight for the eyes, by God!It's a wonderful moment when you enthusiastically watch every storyline, the story of every family is interesting!

Perry's mother is just a ticking time bomb, and I can't wait to see her go to hell!

Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz and Laura Dern are simply amazing.👏👏And anyway, all the ladies are on top, they act so flawlessly that it's hard to take your eyes off the screen!

Yes, the Big Five of Monterrey have their own problems.
Great episode!
It's incredibly interesting how everyone will get out of this, and what role the heroine of the Strip will play.

P.S. The wonder of you came in at the end, poor Ed.

The screensaver, all these types, and especially the song just give me the creeps.

Visions? Amulets made of bones?
Don't do that..

The song in the credits just breaks my heart. Wasn't that what Ed sang at the end of that season?

Yes, he was singing 💔

The very first scene with Celeste: in fragments, I still didn't understand who she was tumbling with.

The moment with Celeste's breakdown, when she says to her son in a fit of anger: "no, you won't be like him," was supposed to show Mary Louise that Celeste hadn't lied to Perry. In a fit of anger, when you even forget that you are being watched, you will not be able to lie.
A new season brings new challenges. Losing almost your entire fortune in one moment is sooo hard. It's good that the series highlighted this issue as well.
Madeline's infidelity finally came to light, albeit stupidly. Abby should have known that such things should only be discussed in private and in whispers, because even walls have ears. And she blurted it out without really thinking... The only character in the series who is annoying. It might be Maddie's fault, but she and Ed were fine after that. And it would have been further if it hadn't been for her daughter's long tongue.

There was no cheating on Madeleine in the book at all, this is already an invention of the screenwriters. There, on the contrary, she told Ed everything and trusted him. The perfect match, in general. It's a pity that the scriptwriters didn't like this line very much, and they decided to make a horseradish out of Madeleine.

Of course, I'll be confused, but damn: there's some kind of ragged editing in the second season, it's very difficult for me to perceive! The scenes just jump in chunks one after the other, in the first season it wasn't like this:(

I'm pretty sure that Perry killed his brother, or their mother killed him, and that's why Perry has such mental problems.

I remember what Abby was thinking. That's why I wrote that even the walls have ears. You don't need to talk loudly about such things, even if you're sure there's no one around.
I agree that Ed should have found out, but not like that—by accidentally eavesdropping on the conversation. If Madeline had decided to tell him herself, maybe he wouldn't have been so categorical. I really like this couple, it hurts to look at other people's mistakes, even if they are on-screen.

Ed is an amazing man.

I've never felt as much emotion as I have during this episode. Great.

The first episode, to be honest, was disappointing...
but this one! Just great!
There is an intrigue (and more than one) and the characters develop (although some are not for the better)
The couple Ed and Madeline are most hooked on, I don't want them to break up. Madeline is to blame, of course, but I think she's ready to improve. And Ed is always a pleasure to listen to, he says simple things, but so accurately, and there is wisdom in him!
Everything is going to the fact that our "Monterey five" will be forced to share with their loved ones what really happened that night.

Madeleine's daughter is always having problems: well, how can you say such things out loud to the whole Ivanovskaya Street, even if you were told that Ed was not at home! It would have been better if Bonnie had kept her, that is. 🤦‍♀️

I'm really sorry for Madeleine's husband. He loves her so much, he values her so much, and he doesn't deserve such betrayal on her part. I want him to be happy and to be loved as much and devotedly as he is Madeleine.
I'm glad Ziggy found his brothers, it was a very nice scene when they came to visit. And it's really cool that despite what happened to Jane, she and Celeste support each other.
"Give a woman a minute" - you need to pick her up at the end of the day

Apparently, Grandma Meryl is slowly gathering facts that she will use in court to take the kids away from Aunt Nicole. :)

- sex with the director of the theater?
- no, you misheard..
-.....
- where are you going?
- check your hearing

The phrase is funny, but the situation is scary, as they say.

I just want to take Ed and hide him somewhere away from this cruel world, he's too pure and innocent for this series.💕

An exciting plot, similar to what I saw in the TV series Desperate Housewives season 8.

Abigail is terribly annoying, she always suffers from incomprehensible bullshit and blurts out all sorts of obscenities with her dirty tongue. Her mother poured out her soul to her, revealed her most terrible secret!
Honestly, it seemed like Abigail knew Ed was home. It was too strange that he appeared in the doorway a second after her rude remark, especially considering that she was sitting right in front of the door. And she didn't look particularly upset, even as if she was happy.
For the life of me, I can't figure out two things in the second season.:
1. Why did women hide everything from their understanding loving husbands? Is there really such distrust? Are they really going to run away and hand them over to the police right away?
2. Where did the waiter Jane was hanging out with go??? Like we forgot about him? Screenwriters, are you serious?) well, at least they would have indicated with one remark that "nothing worked out for us" if the actor had already left for another project or wherever)

@fb865372: it seems to me that they will tell their husbands everything during the second season. But where the waiter was taken is really unclear. Damn, well, they went to drink coffee at his diner throughout the first season!! And in the second, they suddenly drink coffee in another place, and he himself disappeared along with his cafe, and no one even says a word.

Yeah, Mary Louise is definitely inspecting the territory and will be pressing custody... Nicole Kidman is at the height of the second season, with this series she has rediscovered this actress.😍
I feel sorry for Boney, you can see the character's torment at 100, I think she will explode soon after all

Obviously, Ziggy will then fight with the twins against the background of the fact that their father is a rapist.

I love it.
I'm very worried about everyone.

In the book, Bonnie had a serious motive for pushing Perry so violently-she witnessed domestic violence. And here such a nice family, even though mom is a little bit of that. I hope the explanation for such uncontrollable anger will be convincing enough in the series.

after Renata's words about the seizure of the computer / tablet by the police, I immediately thought that they would somehow (through correspondence, etc.) be able to find information about Perry's murder. plus Mary Louise with her "I'll go to the police and find out everything." I feel like something bad is going to happen. Or am I just being paranoid like Jane

It also pisses Mary Louise off. I fully agree with Madeline on this issue. her nasty, monotonous, unstoppable voice cannot be listened to either in the original or with voiceover.

How Mary Louise's grandma pisses me off, Meryl certainly plays it off well. I don't understand why Celeste still won't tell the kids that yes, their dad was an asshole. They've seen how he behaved and they'll think that's the way to do it. Renata💞

This episode is like going to a therapist.

Where can I watch it for free?)

Celeste is still very painful to watch. She gets sick from every dream and memory, and it's clear that she misses the good days and his care, and immediately pulls herself back, remembering all the horrors of physical and moral violence against her. Meryl Streep is just as wonderful both for her caring and for how she gets in the ass without soap, trying to figure out what's going on.
Madeleine, of course, is to blame for blurting it out so recklessly, as if she hadn't even theoretically imagined that Ed might come in. I feel terribly sorry for him.
Bonnie is having a blast, and then Maman has arrived, with whom, apparently, she does not have the best relationship. I really like that more attention is being paid to her this season.
And the heroine of the series, of course, Renata. Her emotionality is just perfect!
And it also seems to me that the wife of this artistic director from the theater was the one who watched the murder scene in the last episodes of the first season. And it is she who will then lay their involvement.

In this episode, I noticed how the boy playing Ziggy plays out, he doesn't look at all like little Sheldon Cooper here (he didn't look like him in the first season either, I just didn't even realize it was one boy). Apparently, the boy also has good acting skills, since he is really different in different TV series)

Where can I watch it for free?)

Oh, what a terrible episode!
This is what the series draws on - it says that in every family there are terrible events that hide everything.

The heroine of the Strip, of course, shows that because of their love, parents can deny the shortcomings of their children, simply turn a blind eye to the suffering of others. Immediately attack, accuse others of cheating, etc.

Ed has been so good all two seasons, it hurt a lot for him. I don't want them to separate.

Celeste's sessions are a separate pain. It's so weird, like two different people.
Plus, I have a relationship with my mother-in-law, who kind of helps, but doesn't let me open up and manipulates me very skillfully.

Renata is something! Such a heat of emotions!

I liked this series sooo much, the intrigue skillfully spun and now I want to watch for sure and not stop.)

Almost everyone's life has gone to the same place.

Ed is amazing. I feel very sorry for him. It hurt to see how his hands were shaking.

It was even a little embarrassing to watch the scene in which the boys came to "get to know" Ziggy again, but even their moms seem to be doing a good job of it.

The situation with Ed is terrible, I really want to believe that he and Madeleine will be able to solve everything and stay together.

And at the end, Ed's song is just the last straw. 😭

Ed behaved worse than some "people". It's still a little weak.

My daughter fucked up a lot

And I'm sitting here watching in one gulp! I was especially patient and waited for a free day with a lot of emotions!!! And the second one is no worse than the first one. At least for the first two episodes. I look further....

I want Madeleine to be alone, and Ed to finally find an adequate girlfriend)

There is a feeling that Ziggy will accidentally let slip about the violence and it will turn out badly.
I understand Ed's feelings, but he's acting like an asshole. Everyone's life is going to hell, and then there's Mary-Louis.

It's a great series. It's a shame for Madeleine's husband, he seems good and loving, and even devoted. It's mean of her.

I don't want one of the twins to become the same as his father. But it seems that everything is coming to that.

I liked the scene with the tantrum in the car. Deserves a like for acting

I'm afraid that Peri's mom will ruin everything for desperate women :

Now imagine if Viola Davis, playing Bonnie's mom, would join heavyweights like Meryl Streep and Laura Dern. The cast is unreal, of course, but it would be on the verge of madness)

What a great sound, I can't stop admiring it. The credits play the song that Eddie sang at the evening ball, eeeee.
Villagers - The wonder of you

I didn't understand why I was shooting the second season at all. I watched the first two episodes just by inertia. But this episode turned everything around. So many emotions, so many regrets, so much despair. All the women in the lead roles are gorgeous. I'm even more worried about their heroines this season.

The screensaver is as usual

I can't help but say, drop your sneakers. How fat is the series compared to the book. Semitones, humor - all this is gone, especially in the second season (which is natural). Even in Madeline's fictional line, it's noticeable that drama has been added where it's not needed. Or in this episode, the phrases "you like to pretend that everything is fine", "you won't be like him" - is it really impossible to present it somehow more thinly, and not head-on? Why the book was interesting - at first glance, small, insignificant details, stupid quarrels between parents and finding out whose child offended whom (just like in life), gradually accumulate and result in a huge lump of problems, and terrible things are revealed. In the series, we have a bunch of rich people with very serial problems (there's still someone left to get hooked on drugs). You might as well watch Dynasty, honestly.

And the most annoying thing is that Tom was sent somewhere, and they didn't even explain.

Lauren's emotions are just great, very intense. How annoying Perry's mother is, how she tries to justify violence, beatings, it's disgusting. And it's scary. When you can find yourself in such a situation and no one will believe you.
Ed... My heart is broken. Meryl fucked up everything and I hope everything gets better.

Madeleine has raised little traitors on her own head.
Katherine Newton's character in Supernatural is annoying enough, but here she's even more irritable. She doesn't want to study, and it seems to me that she loudly declares her humanity and impulses to help her neighbor - just to attract attention or a kind of protest against everyone that she didn't get enough attention as a child.
I kept hoping that Madeleine would tell Ed everything about cheating on her, and he asks her (I'm a fan of happy endings), but you can understand him. Stop trampling on your pride, forever comforting your wife, getting nothing in return...In this situation, Ed did everything right, I'm really sorry for him.

Wow, what a bitch Meryl Streep plays, she's amazing!

Madeleine is just a super mother, she won't get mad and transfer the blame to her daughters, that each of them has declassified one of her secrets - the youngest about ziggy, the eldest about cheating. Just a ton of patience and poise for children. And apparently, as a balance, she's so explosive with those who aren't from her sandbox.

My girls are so imbued with the characters and their story that they have become like sisters to me. I worry and rejoice with them. The series, as always, is wonderful!

- You used to like this song.
"Like sitting on your face." Do you think it will ever happen again?! ©

it would be understandable why such a season is more peaceful, sad and sad. and everything seems to be on the same level, but somehow the first season came in like a God. This one is no longer like that

Honestly, the series is surprising in terms of motivating the actions of some women. Well, why do successful, educated and punchy Renate and Celeste need tyrant husbands, assholes and lazy fuckers?
I would expect a choice of such moods from Maddie, a single mother with no education and no other hobbies besides her daughter. Or from Bonnie, floating in her yoga, veganism and hippieism, disconnected from the real world. But two punchy career women are dragging a disgraced and aggressive psychopath, and they also miss them?
Hopefully, they'll explain later what got them so hooked.

Laura Dern is just a goddess in this episode! Actually, I admire Renata's character terribly! Strong and independent, always ready to defend her own and stand up for her own. A woman with a capital letter. In many aspects, the role model is for me!

WILL SOMEBODY GIVE A WOMAN A MOMENT!!!!!!!🔥

I like that they talk to children like that and try to explain some pretty serious adult things to them. It seems to me that this is the right thing to do, that is, perhaps children will grow up more prepared for life and will be able to avoid many mistakes.

The scene where Celeste and the boys go to Ziggy and Jane is just 💔💔

I don't understand Ed's complaint that Madeleine didn't tell him someone else's secret, I don't understand it.

It's so bad. I was just thinking about whether Madeline wouldn't tell Ed about her cheating, when Abby immediately brought up the subject, and Ed heard. %)
Laura Dern is a beauty. like all five of them, of course.
And Perry's mother is just wow. to be so blind to your son's flaws. It didn't just come from the ceiling...

"you found out about his infidelity 10 seconds before he died" - why did Mary Louise suddenly realize about 10 seconds?) Celeste did not say at what point she found out. She said on the night of death. But ML knows that it was before, and that it was 10 seconds before. Strange, I hope it will be explained.

The music in this series is of course gorgeous!

" I'm going to go to the police and tell them everything you've been keeping quiet about.
"What did I tell you about?" I didn't talk about anything. What have I learned? When? Oh well?! I didn't even know someone like, "
Is it that hard, Celeste? It's time to fight back, ex-lawyer. The eternal victim of abuse.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in season 1, Madeleine, talking about her affair with her eldest daughter and discussing it with that guy from the theater, said that it was all a year ago (specifically, that they slept, not a kiss), and here in a conversation with Ed, she also says last year, although Both seasons start in September, meaning another year has passed. Is she lying again or what?

what a nasty grandmother (sorry, I forgot the name).. Aah,
I've got a combo in me!
and the protection of the rapist's son, and the distrust of the victim, and he also sentences: HE COULDN'T DO THAT, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, HE'S GOOD
Although this is probably partly normal for a mother, she still has 0 sympathy and regret
. This is the kind of attitude victims of domestic violence face in real life on a regular basis
, especially those nasty accusations about the police..What a horror!!!!
Society constantly shifts responsibility to the victims, especially if the victim is a woman.😤

Bonnie is so broken (like many others, lives are falling apart

Renata is such an interesting character)))
God, Celeste is straight from one shackle to another (isn't it clear that the mother of the son whose murder you are involved in is not the person to whom you can complain about life...
Madeleine is going overboard in some moments
Just some kind of "Everything is everywhere and at once" 2)))

Madeleine got caught...
but knowing her, we can say that she will get out.

It is a very powerful idea that we allow other people to do things to us that we would have protected our loved ones from long ago, but we doubt, tolerate, blame ourselves((( I feel sorry for Celeste, I so want her to get rid of not only Perry, but also inner demons...
Who would have thought that Nathan would be so attentive and sensitive. Ed's request to meet Bonnie looked wild, but he's really just desperately trying to find a way out and help his wife.y

Nathan (Madeleine's ex) is a really good husband. It's obvious how much he cares about Bonnie's behavior. And Ed is amazing, I feel sorry for him. But in contrast, Renata's husband, who blew all their money, doesn't look so cool. How she screamed, pretty girl🤣🔥
