'Everyone in West Palm Beach knows the Delaney family because of their long-running tennis academy. But when Joy and Stan retire -- and when a wounded, young woman arrives on their doorstep -- the entire family's world is turned upside-down. And when Joy, the Delaney matriarch, suddenly goes missing, her four children are left to piece together everything they thought they knew about their parents.'

Based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty. We're through 5 or 6 episodes and have enjoyed it. Anybody else watching?

I made it thorough 4 episodes and thought it was pretty bad. Googled the ending, and I’m glad I didn’t waste anymore time on it.

The wife and I enjoyed it. It's well done and its great to throw out theories to each other on what you think is going on.

Its not some groundbreaking series or anything but we liked it.

Same, couldn't finish it, might watch more episodes here and there if I have nothing to watch. Alison Brie's acting is horrible in this show. It's totally distracting.

We watched it a few weeks ago and I honestly can't remember how it ended.

I'm fairly convinced Big Little Lies was an anomaly from Moriarity.

i watched that series and thought it was fantastic, top to bottom. then my wife read 3 more books and said they were all meh. we watched 9 perfect strangers and it was meh.

second season of big little lies was a giant bucket of meh, and unnecessary.

my wife started this book and said it was so boring she quit. she then started this series and bailed.

obviously there's some talent there or she wouldn't keep getting published and adapted, but most of it is just off of BLL.

Totally agree

BLL season 1 was so good. Should have just been a limited series with only 1 "season"

Everything else my wife sees from the "author of BLL" we watch hoping to catch that lightning in the bottle again and they are mostly let downs.

I read about half the book - rarely do I not finish a book, if that tells you anything. I thought it was booring and just not well done at all. If I remember it was set in Australia, FWIW, even though the series is not apparently. I don't see myself watching that one.

Bump- we just finished it. It filled a void of nothing to watch, but I did not see the end coming. Kind of anticlimactic, but overall we liked it enough.

It started pretty good but fizzled out quickly. Probably could have been a few episodes shorter.

The storyline itself was silly
