It’s almost two weeks since the second season of Big Little Lies came to a close. The disappointment of viewers is pretty well-known. The second season was somewhat tame compared to the first season that opened and ended with a murder. Apart from the stellar cast that includes Oscar-winning actors Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, what drew attention towards the mini-series was that it had women and children at the centre of the narrative, with the men mostly playing side roles. When I first heard about the show, it seemed like just another story with a murder mystery — perhaps with desperate housewives. But the seven-episode long first season was an essential watch because it threw light on issues we all know of — domestic violence and sexual abuse, school bullies and pregnancy from rape — but rarely talk about.
