Girls’ night in… and out

1 Big Little Lies MONDAY, SKY ATLANTIC, 9PM

Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley star in this darkly comic drama about three Californian mums all harbouring dark secrets. In the posh seaside town of Monterey, a primary school becomes the unlikely scene of a shocking murder. Over seven episodes, the drama flashes back to the lead-up to the killing – revealing a web of tangled relationships, jealousy and spite. With a great cast, including Laura Dern and easy-on-the-eye Alexander Skarsgård (as Nicole Kidman’s husband), it’s a fantastic adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s best-selling novel. With a plot that keeps you guessing, this glossy but gripping series is worth staying in for.
