Did you watch Big Little Lies on HBO? If you're looking for a short, intense drama series this one might be worth a watch. I read the book upon which the series by Liane Moriarty years ago, and while there are similarities between the two, there are also significant plot differences.
Ultimately I found the series a compelling drama, difficult to watch at times as it features some heavy topics including rape, infidelity, and domestic violence and rape in a marriage. Having said that, it also employs the typical plot twists that keep you on the hook episode to episode, wanting more. It debuted in the traditional series format of one episode per week, but now all seven are live so you could opt to binge watch it if so inclined. Nicole Kidman gives an astonishingly strong but wounded performance, in my humble opinion.
However, one of my favorite parts of this series was its soundtrack! My personal favorite is the Elvis cover of "Don't" by cast member, Zoe Kravitz. The soundtrack is packed with catchy R&B songs as well as new riffs on familiar favorites. Worth a listen!
