Big Little Lies

Long time that I haven't specifically blogged so here is a revival.

Big Little Lies was something people were raving about a year back and I was planning to watch it but had never got round to it until now.

One day and 7 episodes. I'm not too sure what I think.

The sensation and essence of the plotline changes your thoughts and perceptions throughout the various episodes. It gives you an insight into the appearances of the enchanting Monterey couples whilst carrying dark secrets inside. I guess it's ironic when you get to the end. 

The first few episodes were very ambiguous and slow, it takes a conventional and yet unconventional route of showing the end results of the season at the start. Building up all the episodes until the big finale at the end. It was difficult to concentrate and I personally felt bored mid-season so I was only watching to understand what was going to happen at the end. I guess the foreshadowing at the start of the season made sense but possible a more creative storyline was needed. 

The characters itself were very creative. I liked the sense of enigma each character brings to the show that creates that phenomenal intrigue. 

Reese Witherspoon as Madeline Martha Mackenzie is portrayed as this 'perfect' candidate, outspoken and ambitious outlook, although you are constantly annoyed by her personality until you understand the true deception that she leads.

Nicole Kidman as Celeste Wright is incredible in the way she shows a broken individual with love and loyalty to her family and more concerningly her husband. Her character can bring a lot of what some people truly go through, which can highlight the importance of your friends and family and specifically talk to them about relationships.

Shailene Woodley as Jane Chapman shows similarity to Madeline as she is depicted innocently until we truly know why she's moved. 

These are only 3 main characters but others add to the storyline. Although, I'm not sure whether I enjoyed the show. The drag of each specific relationship and the drama was exhausting, especially within the children. The storyline is a little over dramatised.
