Big Little Lies ~ yea or nay?

[ Edited ]

I never read or listened to the book, but the HBO series looks like it is going to be very interesting!

I want to watch it, hopefully HBO Now app will have it. That's how I get HBO, I have the app on my Fire TV stick.

 

I checked last night, thought they might have the first episode already but they didn't.

 

I didn't even know it was a book, shame on me.

Big Little Lies is a 2014 novel written by Liane Moriarty.  I hated Truly Madly Guilty so I decided to skip this book.

I read the book, and I' m trying the HBO one week free from Amazon Prime, so I hope I can see it..

I think I'm in the minority, but I didn't like the book at all.  I have no interest in seeing the mini series.

I enjoy Liane Moriarty books and liked this one. I don't get HBO, so I won't get to see their version. However, I'm kind of bummed that it's not set in Australia like the book, so I'm not really interested in seeing it.

I read the book and liked it a lot...so am paying to watch the HBO series through Amazon.   

 

After watching the first episode, I have to say I might have been a bit confused if I hadn't read the book.  

 

As for  filming it in a CA coastal community...I believe this was Nicole Kidman's decision (she is one of the producers).  She's from Australia and felt that the location would look very similar.   I live in the community where the outdoor scenes were filmed....and I think the scenery shots are spectacular!
