Shooting style is current jumpy style. I don't like any of the characters, but you need a plot.

A thrilling series that has a thoughtful take on abuse, woman hood and genuinely funny social satire. The story is complete here- no need to visit season two.

This dvd series was very twisted.

The en sable is very entertaining and agree with the social satire comment below; but, the kid actors made me feel a moment of concern over the parenting styles that would garner such mannerisms usually seen portrayed by adults.

Brilliant. Based on a book by the Australian Liane Moriarty. The author produced this mini-series. Compulsive watching, great performances by adults and children alike. Despite the negative comments posted here, I binge-watched this, and…

Tedious.

I'm not usually one for soaps, But I found this one quite interesting. And I was so pleased with the ending of the last disc. I can't stand anyone that could treat a woman with such aggression and violence.

Social satire that comes very close to being truth...we are all a facade that we put over for others. no one admits that they aren't perfect and everyone judges others without any backing for their beliefs.

This is a really enjoyable and excellent mini-series. The cast is fantastic. Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley are all superb, but so is everyone else. The settings are gorgeous. The suspenseful story has lots of…

Great series, but deviates quite a bit from the original book. The characters have a few more layers to them, and new story lines are introduced. The cast has so many familiar faces that at first I thought I would find it difficult to…

Good gawd, this was awful. I could describe the characters and the scene but really, heed my warning. You might like this; some people are fans of Housewives of Wherever shows, I have to acknowledge that.

WOW. I cannot wait for second season to come out on DVD. Great storyline and cast all around!

OMG! I'm not easily impressed, but this series did it! Relax and let it intentionally blow you down.

Mediocre viewing. On the whole, I found the majority of the characters distasteful; 40-50 year olds with the emotional maturity of teenagers. Paradoxically, the children were uncomfortably portrayed as small adults (essentially "props"…

I loved this HBO adaption of Liane Moriarty's book by the same name. I was in suspense all the way to the end , so you might want to binge on this one! A 2nd season has been announced with Meryl Streep added to the lineup. So, between…

They could have done this in two or three episodes, not seven. The time of one episode is equal to how many flash backs Jane had about her rape. Was all the necessary? Besides all the repetitive content, the story was pretty good.

Could Monterey really have so many totally awful people. Good acting, great scenery, but didn’t want to watch unpleasant, neurotic people constantly arguing, swearing, and abusive sex.

Despair in Monterey. Wonderfully written and acted.

The womens pov as written and directed by a man -- what a unique concept. Why didn't anyone else think of having a man explain how a woman feels. Obviously, only a man can understand -- write and direct --how a woman feels about domestic…

Suspenseful adult soap opera. I'm glad I don't have to live near the people in this show.

I don't know which one I enjoyed better, the book or the TV series! Both fantastic and a story line that will suck you in.
