A seven part miniseries which may have a sequel. Four women from upscale Monterrey California are screwing over one another out in soap opera fashion. The husbands see-saw between supportive caring modern men, and psychotic. Shailene Woodley is a poor mysterious newcomer with a son and a lot of anger. Zoë Kravitz plays a young hot woman who is basically a blessed saint but who drives all the men wild. The townsfolk play a bitchy gossipy chorus.

It's soap opera start gradually unfolds a complex thriller. It's a murder mystery where you have to guess not only the killer, but the victim.

The victim is good taste.

I watched all 7 episodes over one weekend. It was highly addictive. The finale was extremely satisfying. Hopefully there will be more...

Meryl Streep has joined season 2.

Wow. That is a huge get.

Spoilers for season 1:

She will be playing Alexander Skarsgard's character's mom. I'm assuming she will show up looking for answers about what really happened to her son.
