The lack of Jane scenes altogether was rather disappointing. It was very telling in the “previously” segment, they recapped Madeleine, Renata, Bonnie, and Celeste, but there was nothing for Jane. They really did waste her this season.

Ms. Retro Too much Bonnie and her mother

Ms. Retro i enjoy Jane and Ziggy interaction the most out of all the parents. It s always so wholesome

I agree, bc in the book Madeleine had took Jane under her wing like a little sister. But then again this season Madeleine was going through her own trauma and you can't help someone if you're drowning too

@@thanksfortrumpcnnmsnbcandh8771 I think Bonnie and her mother was central to this season, because you see the motive for why she did what she did. Some of that was explored in the book but it was lacking in season one, and so they had to make up for that

Yeah, it's not a marvel show, nor a cardashian one...

But it doesn't feel like the end of the show, it feels like the end of the season. There are so many storylines left open so it just doesn't seem right to end there. Like the comited a crime and confessed. Great, now what? Is anyone going to prison? I guess we just needed one more episode at least.

@@IrinNovy in the book Bonnie just got community service... But as for the finale that's what I like about it, is bc life doesn't suddenly stop when you reach a certain point, and it was realistic to real people, life keeps going... whether we see all the moving pieces or not

@@kellibryant9094of course, life goes on but if you are telling a story you can't just stop whenever you get bored. There must be some conclusion.

@@IrinNovy i think they're leaving it open for the possibility of a third season... And if we don't get a third is open to our imagination

Hear, hear! HAHAHA she's such a great actress! Every time I get pissed, I say "she's Meryl Streep, she's Meryl Streep"

Her accent never left. It kept slipping through the ENTIRE second season.

@@shteve119 no but remember celeste said to perry that she "moved here for you," and left "my family and friends behind for you," and because her accent wasn't truly american, and because i know nicole is completely capable of keeping up an accent different to her own flawlessly from watching her other films where she has a different accent, it makes me think that she was actually intended to be australian in the series, she just had an affected accent from living in america. i think that's why she sounds like she's slipping, but i think it's actually part of the character.

True, I felt the same way..! ❕

eyes? no MIND. don't be a woman, be a girl, don't be grownups, be a kid again

yup.

roter13 ❤️as always! But that trembling lip when Celeste grills her... wow, worthy of an Emmy and Globe at the very least. She’s such a master, just the best!

Dern *

There will be a Season 3 count on it ladies. They left it open enough.

@@patriciaskubish6144 there won't be a third season. This season got major backlash and it was extremely mediocre. Plus you have a large group of the biggest stars in hollywood, nobodys schedules are going to match. This show didnt need a second season. It should've remained a mini-series like it was originally supposed to be

@@shteve119 Time will tell...

Spirals & Sequins That’d be good but I’d prefer something original and fresh. A completely new film would be better. Meryl can play a sassy character like Miranda in Devils wear Prada & Jessica can play a character like when she was on American Horror Story.

Really? That would be a Hollywood cliché, confronting two women.

Interestingly they're calling it the season finale now.. we may get a season 3

@Ana K thanks ❤, for a moment I felt like the only one who didn't love it

@Ana K I totally agree with you, Ed suddenly being like "lets renew our vows" (his character arc this season was horrible) instead of I don't know, actually asking Madeleine things (It doesn't feel coherent for him to just suddenly be like "lets begin again"); Nathan not getting ANY pov and being desmissed as a total idiot? who apparently doesn't even care that his wife (now soon to be ex-wife :p) never loved him?; the group not being there for Bonnie (may I say I absolutely LOVED her this season ❤) like they were for Celeste, specially when it was obvious that Bonnie was living an actual hell everyday (this was one of the things that bothered me the most, I mean I know they were all having troubles and even desling with shitty situations but Bonnie was full blown depressed HOW could they don't care?)

@Myles White ikr? Unfortunally for us Nicole Kidman said that most likely there won't be another season. I still hope they decide different though, lets keep our fingers crossed!

It felt rushed because it wasn't an ongoing thread in the season. It would have made more sense if there were moments throughout a number of episodes between various combos of the 5 women where they talked whether or not to go to the police. Such a big decision that seemingly was out of the blue.

allaboutsunshines true, but I feel like it’s less common to hear about/see abuse from a mother to a child, especially a daughter, but it DOES happen and it also really messes up your ability to form meaningful relationships.

​@@lindsaykearney5089 It is less common, but it makes way more sense to stick with the original. Especially because there wasn't a big backstory as to why Bonnie pushed Perry. In the books, Bonnie's abuse from her father fueled her to push Perry.

@@lindsaykearney5089 TRUE. But another show could have done that. Bonnie's abuse from her father is central to the story. Honestly was a stretch to do the whole mother thing. Even all the critics are saying this too.

agree and mad about the director drama

It killed the whole flow of the story

Natalie King she did not turn herself. Bonnie did, Celeste and the other women were there to support her

Episode 2 was amazing. Most of the lies came to light.

There might be a third season. Nothing has been confirmed but you never know. There are just way to many unanswered questions for them to just leave it off like that.

I disagree. I think they wrap BBL beautifully.

because bonnie was on a path of self destruction. Her arc this season was how she never really dealt with her past, and the resolution was her working it out without any violence e.g. killing her mother or suicide. She actually solved those problems instead of self destructing (confessing to her mother why she hated her and then accepted how much she loved her, realising that she was never in love with her husband etc.)

Why do you say that? I just don't see it.

@@kathryns31biz Really? Maybe it's the lighting in this roundtable discussion, but if you look at most of her interviews from the past few years it's impossible not to notice the amount of work she's gotten done. The cheeks in particular. I think she got those silicone face fillers, because her cheek muscles are literally frozen in place and don't move when she talks. Pressures of the industry she works in I guess. It's a damn shame though. She could've aged as gracefully as helen mirren if she wanted to. She never needed all that cosmetic surgery crap.

@TheBluearmy33 Guess my point went over your head. I'll try and make it clearer for you - I'm saying that it's tragic that society (and especially the entertainment industry) places so much pressure on women to stay young and pretty to the point where women feel the need to go under the knife or get shit injected into their face in order to defy the natural process of aging. Folks can do what they want as long as they're not hurting anyone, and if you wanna get cosmetic surgery that's your choice. But I think it's naive to think that societal pressures don't play a significant role in making women feel the need to combat aging in some of the most extreme ways possible. And when it comes to plastic surgery, it reminds me of that old chinese practice of binding women's feet. Chinese women literally had their feet deformed so that they would grow unnaturally and be as small as possible. These deformed feet were seen as sexy by the male-dominated chinese society. But of course it was grotesque and caused unbelievable pain and discomfort for the women that had no other choice but to deform themselves in order to get a husband and not be treated like a pariah in chinese society. This is exactly how I feel about plastic surgery in america in this day and age. It's a symptom of how women are treated like garbage in modern-day society.

@TheBluearmy33 🙆🎪👏👏

If she wants to put her nose behind her back that's her damn business.
