Dean (6927 KP) rated Big Little Lies - Season 2 in TV

Great cast line up (0 more)

A very good 2nd series

I breezed through the 2nd series very quickly, again only 7 episodes long. Perry's Mum, the excellent Meryl Streep, turns up and has many questions about her sons death. Will the Monterey 5 be able to keep it together or will many things start to unravel for them? It's maybe not as dramatic as the first series storyline or have as many big reveals. However the writing is just as good and the story is gripping. If you liked the first series you should like this as well.

Twisty turny tech, Fear the AI

Not eloquently written by any means but oh not what a ride, the story is gripping edgy, nerve wracking and you just don't want to stop reading.
I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter to find out what was happening with Robert and Ambra or Julian and Bishop Valdespino or even Winston who was a charming addition to the story.
This will have you on the edge of your seat and in the end you will understand why everything happened as it did.
Highly reccomended reading.
Fear the AI.

Very immersive experience

Back to the Front

I've been waiting to see this for a while, especially after seeing a slight behind the scenes trailer showing the great lengths they went to get continuous shots. After all the awards and great reviews expectations were high. I wasn't disappointed.
It's an immersive, gripping drama that will make you feel like you are there, taking part in the mission against the odds. It's not quite one long take but you'll barely notice. It's like a new cinema experience and an awesome one at that. Make sure you see it on the big screen.

Suspense

Detectives McCabe and Savage, in the first of this series, are on the hunt for a sick individual, murdering young healthy women and removing their hearts. After they find the body of a young missing girl, they are informed another woman has gone missing already, and the clock starts ticking... they have a week to find her and taking the killer down.

Interesting read, like the characters but would like to see more character development and the partnership between McCabe and Savage... is it sexual, friendly... it’s hard to ascertain.

Well written and gripping, finished in 24 hours.
