Technically, this isn’t a miniseries since HBO produced a second season, but IMO, the second season doesn’t exist. The spectacular cast, direction, and plot are what make this miniseries a big hit. I get why HBO renewed the show for a second season as fans (lol, me) couldn’t get enough of the small group of mothers taking over Monterey, California. From murders to marriage betrayals, this 2014-novel-turned miniseries will have you on the edge of your seat..couch…you get the saying.
