Big Little Lies Finale

Shailene Woodley as Jane and Reese Witherspoon as Madeline

Big Little Lies centers around what appears to be a murder (of an undisclosed character) that is supposedly revealed as the series progresses to the finale. But crime drama this is not, David E. Kelley is writing about the social interaction of the various women, following Liane Moriarty's book, so there is no point trying to follow clues for the reveal (I do not want to give it away, but some of the plot twists are pretty obvious and I would be shocked if I am wrong).

If Kelley follows the book, well the reveal is there if you want to find it. Alternatively Kelley could switch it around for the TV show. The dead person (we will find out when the finale airs) could be any of the characters.

It is a prime time limited series soap opera (which also skewers lefty coastal liberal political correctness). Which is actually ok, less is often more and I would just assume it not drag on. It runs over the same time as the Walking Dead Finale and Black Sails Finale, but that is why we have DVDs and alternative streaming times. HBO also runs east and west coast feeds.
