I was convinced the Big Little Lies theme was sampling something I've heard somewhere - that background, choral part. The track was produced by Danger Mouse, turns out, which explains the spaghetti westernness, and I know Crazy was based around a sample, but I'm not seeing a source for this one mentioned anywhere. Has Mouse just been doing Morricone type stuff for so long he can now invent what you could swear you've heard before? Crazy was one of those songs that made me assume everything would be good now - some new way of doing things had entered the world and surely everyone else would be jumping on board. Obviously this feeling is never right. Nice to have it, though.

What do you think of the show?

We're just three episodes in. It's certainly very well done. Not sure where it's going, but one's starting to get the impression that behind every crazy woman is a bad man? The three leads were all burnt by alpha types, and the staggered ages maybe suggests a generational cast to the three different ways they've handled it - 1) stay, 2) divorce, 3) leave town and buy a gun? Too soon, can't tell. Show's doing something with bullying, e.g. with Scott and Dern, but that's not been clarified yet either.

Cristina really liked it. I liked some of the camera work, but I think they were too successful at making the citizen chorus utterly hate-able.

Last episode is pretty good.
