I have so many grievances with this show. The very first season was stupendous and how could it not be? It was adapted from a popular book with a story to keep you transfixed to the end and you could not hope for a better cast. Big Little Lies had the perfect recipe for the perfect dish. When you help yourself to it the first time around, you love it, you cannot believe something so delectable can even be made. So obviously you cannot wait to load your plate once again. But the second time around, the spice, the taste, the essence everything somehow seems amiss. And the feeling sticks. The second season of the show has nothing on the first. The performances of Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep are what got me through the show. Each episode ending I hoped for more, a better conclusion. But I never got it, up until the season end. The denouement seemed too abrupt, I never got any closure and I never experienced the thrill of the first season.

It's a captivating show. I have lately been having issues completing shows due to time restraints. If I keep coming back to a show even then, it means it has something special. Sharp Objects is fascinating from the start. From the moment you enter into the bleak town, you want to learn every facet of town, get in every characters' skin, unravel all their mysteries.The beauty of the show is that it does not end with a cliffhanger every episode to keep the viewers coming back and yet it still manages to keep you hooked. It's dark and twisted and it has you thinking in a same manner all through out. A must watch.
