  • 'Big Little Lies' Is More Than a Mom Drama
    Featured in The Nerd League By Katie Knecht It wasn’t until the end of August, nearly six months after Big Little Lies was released on HBO, that ​ ​ I gave in to the hype. The miniseries had been recommended to me but I dismissed it as a “mom drama” based on the main ad image and I kept getting it confused with Pretty Little Liars. But ​ ​ ​ ​ there I was on the couch, jetlagged from a two-week trip, with a fresh HBO login from a friend. I decided to give the first episode a try, and I’m glad I did because there was a lot more to the show than I anticipated. The show centers around females who, yes, can be catty and annoyingly stereotypical, but they are also strong willed, smart, and come together in unexpected ways. The families featured in the show vary in status and background, but the one thing they all have in common is that their kids attend first grade together at a fancy public school. This might seem like the setup for a show your aunt would DVR, but the truth behind these characters and the murder mystery that is revealed throughout makes it much more. Shailene Woodley will forever be the teenage mom from Secret Life of the American Teenager in ​ ​ my mind, but she was able to make me forget her breakout role with her acting. She plays a new-to-the-area single mother and, although she doesn’t seem to care about status and appearances as much as the other mothers, she fits in well with the gossipy Madeline Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon) and stoic Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman).
