The five women at the centre of HBO’s new seven-part miniseries Big Little Lies are very different from one another. Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) is the outspoken, sociable mother of two. She takes Jane (Shailene Woodley), the reserved new girl in town, under her wings.
Nobody knows how Jane – an out-of-work single mum with one song – ends up in an upscale town like Monterey, California. But her reasons are hinted through a series of flashbacks of her running frantically on the beach.
