Big Little Lies may be the most influential TV show of the past decade, establishing a modern women’s-melodrama template that’s been mimicked, in various forms, by numerous spiritual offspring, a list of which would include (but wouldn’t be limited to) All Her Fault, The Perfect Couple, Nine Perfect Strangers, Sharp Objects, Little Fires Everywhere, Little Disasters, The Undoing, and Disclaimer.
With its now familiar story of female friends whose seemingly happy lives are complicated by money, jealousy, greed, secrets, lies, adultery, and, of course, murder, David E. Kelley’s smash hit pioneered a pulpy small-screen formula—equal parts sexy, suspenseful, and scandalous—that was primed for must-see binge-watching. And its legacy continues with Imperfect Women, whose saga of love, betrayal, and homicide follows the path charted by its television godmother to a tee.
