When you entitle an episode “Burning Love” like we’re seeing for Big Little Lies episode 6, there are expectations. One way or another, it’s going to be passionate — maybe it’s in a good way, such as two characters coming together for some sort of romantic reunion. Or, it’s also possible that it’s passionate in a way […]
Because of a Nielsen glitch that took place earlier this week (plus us having to deal with some other subjects), we had to wait a little longer to bring you the latest Big Little Lies and Feud: Bette & Joan cable ratings … but we’ve got them for you now! Let’s start by discussing Feud, mostly because those are the […]
Why are people the way that they are? It’s not an easy question to answer, and yet it’s a question that Big Little Lies on HBO does look to answer at times. They’ve explored the condition of Madeline and Jane as they try to become more than just labels placed upon them by their town and their marriages. Meanwhile, […]
Big Little Lies, Feud: Bette & Joan, The Walking Dead
The Feud: Bette & Joan premiere ratings are now officially in, and based on the numbers that we’ve seen to date, there is basically no reason to fight at all. The first episode of the FX series featuring Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon ended up drawing in total a 0.5 in the 18-49 demographic and more than […]
Will Big Little Lies episode 4 represent a bounce-back week for Madeline? One would certainly hope so, given that through the journey so far, nothing is coming altogether easily for Reese Witherspoon’s character. Tonight, she learned that her daughter Abigail had a new interest in living with Nathan, while puts Madeline in turn in a complicated position […]
For some people out there, we imagine that you already are getting a chance to dive into the second episode of HBO’s Big Little Lies. The folks over at HBO are smart, and they realized that it wasn’t going to do them a whole lot of good to air a new episode of the show right […]
Over the weekend, we gave HBO some credit for having the guts to air some of their original series — especially newcomers “Big Little Lies” and “Crashing” — up against the Academy Awards. This was certainly a big risk to take, especially when you consider some of the competition the two would be facing off […]
Tonight on HBO, the network is kicking off the premiere of “Big Little Lies,” a show that they’ve absolutely got some enormous expectations for — and for good reason. This is a soapy, dramatic, and entertaining drama that’s coming from the mind of David E. Kelley, and he’s assembled some outstanding talent in here. Only […]
For this new edition of TV Quick Hits, we’re going to be talking rather extensively about trailers for part of it, and that begins with FX’s foray into the superhero world in “Legion.” The series, starring “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens and from “Fargo” executive producer Noah Hawley, is going to be coming on the […]
Big Little Lies, The Leftovers
HBO on Monday announced something that we were feeling rather confident would be made official — “Big Little Lies” is going to be their hour-long series airing early in the new year.
