Episodes Are Averaging Over Seven Million Viewers To Date

As the finale of BIG LITTLE LIES arrives this SUNDAY, APRIL 2 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), HBO's seven-episode limited drama series continues to inspire critical praise and strong viewership.

Among the critical raves, Variety has called the show "deeply satisfying," adding that "the limited series has the continuous, clear vision of cinema." The New Yorker hailed BIG LITTLE LIES for its "strong performances," while TV Guide called it "an irresistible social satire with a fabulous cast and a killer hook."
