When Does Season 2 Of Big Little Lies Start
Okay, let's be real. We're still talking about Big Little Lies, right? It's been a minute. Specifically, a minute since the first season completely blew our minds.
And that's where the question comes in: When does season 2 start… oh, wait.
The Big Little Truth
Here's the kicker. Season 2 did happen. I know, I know, some of you might be scratching your heads. Are we in some kind of time warp? Or is my memory just failing me?
Must Read
The answer, my friends, is a little bit of both. Time flies, doesn't it? And maybe, just maybe, we've collectively tried to repress some of season 2.
Hear Me Out: An Unpopular Opinion
Don’t get me wrong. Getting more of Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie on our screens was initially thrilling. Seeing that Monterey Five back together? Pure gold.
But... was it as good? This is where I might lose some of you. Was it worth the disruption of that perfect ending of season one?
I'm not sure. Maybe I'm a purist. Maybe I like things wrapped up in a neat little bow. You know, like a perfectly curated beach picnic hiding dark secrets.
Why Season 1 Hit Different
The first season was lightning in a bottle. The tension! The acting! The scenic shots of crashing waves mirroring the characters' inner turmoil!
It had a clear, concise narrative. A build-up to that fateful night, and then...resolution. Catharsis! Closure! That season was like a perfectly constructed psychological thriller.
Season 2 felt... different. More sprawling. More messy. It felt like they were trying to recapture the magic, and it just wasn't quite the same, don’t you agree?
Meryl Streep's Magnificent Meddling
Okay, fine. Meryl Streep was amazing. End of discussion. Her portrayal of Mary Louise Wright, Perry's mother, was chillingly brilliant.
She added a whole new layer of complexity and discomfort to the story. And honestly, seeing her go toe-to-toe with Nicole Kidman? Priceless.
But even Meryl Streep couldn't fully recapture the initial spark. Sorry not sorry.
So, About That "Start" Date...
The real answer is: Season 2 already started. It premiered back in 2019. So, it's done.
But, in a way, maybe we should pretend it never happened. Or at least, treat it like a very long, slightly confusing dream. One where Meryl Streep is your passive aggressive mother-in-law.
Ultimately, Big Little Lies season 1 remains a masterpiece. Season 2? A valiant, but ultimately unnecessary, attempt to recapture that perfection.
Let's Discuss!
Am I totally off base? Do you think Season 2 was great? Or do you agree that sometimes, less is more?
Hit me with your thoughts! Was season 2 the perfect follow up or unnecessary?
Let's debate! Just remember, keep it civil. These are, after all, just big little opinions.
