The reason for the success and acclaim received by ‘Big Little Lies’ is majorly attributed to its portrayal of complex relationships. The revelation of some secrets tests their relationships with their parents. The children aren’t untouched by these changes either. A lot of secrets piled up in the first season, and now it is the turn to bring them all tumbling down. The ladies are trying to move on with their lives, but feel a continuous tug on the rope that anchors them to the event that changed their lives. While the first season engaged us with a mystery, a murder in waiting, the second season deals with its aftermath. Just like everyone else, she isn’t entirely satisfied with the explanation that she received for her son’s death and doesn’t hesitate from poking around and stirring up trouble in the process. It only takes one, doesn’t it? To add to the stress, Perry’s mother, Mary Louise (Meryl Streep) enters their lives. The Five might believe that they have gotten away with murder, but people of the town are talking about them. While Celeste is visited by Perry ( Alexander Skarsgard) in her nightmares, it is Bonnie who can’t let go of her guilt, and its hold on her is becoming more discernible to others with every passing day. This was the indication that the danger hasn’t disappeared for the group, and as the events kickstart in the second season, this fact becomes even clearer.Įven though they are bound by the pact of not ever letting out the secret, each of them suffers from the trauma in one way or another. The finale of the first season closed with the women and their children enjoying leisure time at the beach while being watched from a distance. Some time has passed since Perry’s death and even though Celeste ( Nicole Kidman), Madeleine ( Reese Witherspoon), Jane ( Shailene Woodley), Renata ( Laura Dern) and Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz), now called The Monterey Five, have not been accused of anything, the detective on the case hasn’t let go of her suspicion. The events of the second season of ‘Big Little Lies’ pick up with the first day of school.
