'Phil Maciak asks why Big Little Lies is so unwilling to follow the money in “The End of the World,” the third episode of its second season. There are spoilers below, but, be aware that Phil doesn’t say anything about the climate change stuff in this episode. There was once a time when he was optimistic about a Sunday-night HBO drama series taking climate change seriously as a subject, but that turned out to be a big sham, and he looks like a real dupe for ever believing in it. So he’s not going to talk about climate change here. Not today.' (Introduction)
'Jane Hu and Phil Maciak sit down with the second episode of the second season of Big Little Lies. There are lots of spoilers below, so if you haven’t seen “Tell-Tale Hearts,” watch the GIF of Laura Dern shouting about not being rich forty-five times, then watch the GIF of Meryl Streep doing that thing with her necklace on her chin seventy-five times, and you oughtta be okay to read.'

'Phil Maciak starts off our coverage of the second season of HBO’s Big Little Lies. He’ll be joined by various guest stars over the next few weeks.
