Big Little Lies - Season 2 Episode 02: Tell-Tale Hearts
The second season presents a new series of powerful drama, as Renata faces a different course of her life when Gordon comes down to a legal and Korean problem that asks Jane a new question about the 'practice' date. On the other hand, Celeste opened to Mary Louise for her relationship with Perry in those days, especially after a difficult treatment session with Dr. Rysman, and Pony's mother arrives again, and Ed faces a new path towards Madeleine around a set of secrets.
Now that the plot is shining light after light on the secrets and lies that held everyone's lives together, the final scene of Season 1 feels like a naive fantasy compared to the consequences and fallout.
Episode 2, Tell-Tale Hearts, makes it very clear their guilty consciences or other distressing emotional issues will manifest in problems both little and big.
While the overarching season lie gets more difficult to hold onto the longer Mary Louise is within the orbit of any of the Monterey Five, it's the less significant fibs that are threatening to tear everyone apart.
Apparently Big Little Lies' Season 2 premiere episode was simply an amuse bouche of the life and times of the Monterey Five, because Episode 2 is giving us the whole meal.
Even as the characters are looking back on the mistakes they made in Season One, it feels more like the show is moving forward, and it offers one dynamite scene after another.
This second season is thankfully not a rinse and repeat of the first outing and is becoming much more of a thoughtful look at the lasting effects of trauma.
Secrets, it turns out, are a hard thing to keep, particularly when they're in the hands of 9-year-olds who know, ambitiously, 40 total people. But, like a dead man's heart thumping beneath the floorboards-ah, c'mon, you get it.
Big Little Lies is at once a soap opera and a sitcom and a gimlet-gazed commentary on capitalism and its consequences. But the show is also, humming at its lower registers, a work of horror.
