In many ways, Burning Love feels like the calm before the storm. Go to Full Review Nicole Sperling Entertainment Weekly 04/05/2017

I'd be more then fine sticking with these characters without a big murder investigation framing the whole conceit. With drama this good, we barely need it. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 04/05/2017

This week, as BLL deftly maneuvers all of its pieces in place for next week's finale, the facades finally begin to crack, as Madeline, Celeste, and Renata all decide to let go of the destructive elements they've been holding onto for far too long.

After the tension of the previous episode, it's a relief to have some elements of humour back, though it's the nature of this brilliantly constructed drama that they involve extremes of behaviour. Go to Full Review Lacy Baugher The Tracking Board 06/23/2018
Much of Burning Love feels like a set-up for the series' finale, but the episode is still full of satisfying moments. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/19/2018
In other words, it may be centered around a murder mystery, but Big Little Lies is at its best when it's about life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
