I accidently found the TV serial called 'Big and Small Lies' stared by Nicole Kidman ,Reese Witherspoon and some other stars I don't know well.I have got two reasons to watch the show :first, I like Nicole Kidman ;second, the show has won some award .The more I watched it, the more I was into it.
It's about people who live in a town in America.At the very beginning, there is a cliffhanger:someone is dead and the police is giving reports about the terribly damaged body.The fact is unknown.
Strangely, I didn't skip to the last episode out of curiousity.As the plot developed, I lost in finding who is the murder and who is dead.All of them could be the murder or the dead person.When I finished the show ,I realized that the playwright gives some hints which can lead to the fact.However, at the same time, she also gives some clues to confuse you.I got to know who is dead a few minutes before it ends and got to know who is the murder maybe the next to last minute.The end astonished me .
Next I'm gonna talk about these actors.I will use their names in the play.
Madeline is well-liked by her friends due to her funny and caring character but she is been held grudge agaist by some others because she is officious and likely to make a fuss about her ,her friends' and her family's business.At some point, I thought she might be the dead person because she had a battle with a cranky woman with power,money and contacts.
Celeste Wright is a beautiful ,intelligent ,and seemingly happy-married.She has twins and a violent husband.She suffers from the abuse and hesitates over whether to leave her husband or not.Let's say her husband has violence in his gene,he often hits her black and blue.And then he feels guilty ,that's when he is clingy and affectionate.I thought she might be the killer or the victim since both gueses seem to make sense.
Jane is a single mom who is new here in the town.She has a son Ziggy ,a product of a rape.She gets in trouble on the orientation day because her son is accused of bullying.She has to ensure a bright future for her son while she still can't get over the past.She is struggling to face more than the accusation.Sometimes ,she screams and throws a fit.I thought she maybe the killer since she has a gun and seems to be fearless as a woman who has been hurt badly.
Renata is right the woman I mentened above ,with power, money and contacts.She isn't that bad if her daugher isn't bullied by someone unknown to them.Ok, she is a little arrogant.I thought she might be the victim or the killer since she once said she would kill Madline and is really mad at the bully.But the day before the murder, she tells her hunsband if she got shot in the head,it's her husband's fault...
Perry Wright is the voilent husband.Yeah ,it's possible that her wife may kill him and also he might kill her wife out of control.
Mackenzie is Madline's spouse who said Madline is the one to him.He is gentle ,steady and grounded.But he seems to be furious about Madline when she is not likely to get over her ex and is tepid towards him.Plus,he may know the affair her wife has with her coworker.I thought he might be the killer.
Yeah, from my poor judgment , I thought the murder and the victim are among them.Howerver ,I was misled.It's your turn to watch and take a guese.
