It was beautifully written. The eloquent language is at odds with the storyline.

Finished Hold The Dark. It was more engrossing and readable than I was expecting. Also waaaaay more effed up and disturbing than I was expecting. It's going to be very interesting to see how Alex plays Vernon, because if anyone can make you feel the slightest tinge of empathy for Vernon, it'll be Alex.

OMG I was not expecting it to turn out the way it did. I liked the story overall. Alex will play Vernon well.

Second episode of BLL was intense. We get to see a bit more of Perry and Celestes relationship. Good episode and staying true to the book.

PS where is Alex these days? Is he done with Aftermath? Any chance we might see him at afterparties for the oscars tonight?

Aftermath is supposed to be done filming this week, which doesn't mean that Alex hasn't already finished his scenes. Hold the Dark starts tomorrow, but I have no idea when Alex is supposed to start work on that. As he has nothing to promote and doesn't need to be in LA for work I don't think we'd see him at an Oscar parties. We could, but considering that he's got other things to do I think the odds are against it.

Maybe he is laying low in Stockholm or London until he has to start Hold the Dark. And yes I am not expecting him in LA but just wishful thinking!

The Surprising Generosity of “Big Little Lies”
While the show begins with a Schadenfreudian air—a prestige-TV twist on “Real Housewives”—it deepens, and becomes a sensitive reflection on trauma.
By Emily Nussbaum

(...) The standout performances are by Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård, as a couple who are the subject of titillated envy. Celeste is the town’s most stylish hostess; Perry is the hot, younger jet-setting husband who can’t keep his hands off her. They’ve got Instagram-pretty twins and a house out of Architectural Digest. They’re too showily sexual to be grownups—or, at least, that’s how the Greek chorus sees them. It’s quickly apparent that something else is going on: whenever they’re alone, he picks a fight, getting physical fast. Although they seem to have sex non-stop, the arguments and the sex aren’t really separate, and the sex itself is only superficially consensual—as episodes go by, it’s hard not to suspect that Celeste is consenting, in part, so that she doesn’t have to admit that if she didn’t agree he wouldn’t stop.

These scenes of gray-area marital rape are filmed in ways that hover queasily between pornography and horror. When Celeste struggles, it could be violence or a power play—both she and Perry are complicit in the decision not to clarify that. But the violent sequences also help us understand the story the couple has sold not just to the neighbors but to themselves: that they are simply more passionate than normal people. When this notion begins to unravel in therapy, it’s peculiarly touching. As chilling as his character is, Skarsgård makes him more than a Lifetime monster; often, Perry seems to buy his own con, in which he’s merely the boyish, insecure satellite of his beautiful wife. The fact that her cage looks enviable makes it harder to acknowledge how dangerous he is; it’s easier to carry on their shared mythology. (...)

A short piece of episode 2 recap from Refinery 29 about Alex and Nicole Kidman, without spoilers. All recap you can read here http://www.refinery29.com/2017/02/140947/big-little-lies-recap-episode-2:
Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard have never been two actors I’d think of pairing up together. But their chemistry is electrifying. It makes me wish their marriage wasn’t the abusive one on the show. The sex scenes between them are hot, intense, and troubling. Every moment crackles with tension. It’s hard to focus on anything else happening in the show when these two are onscreen. It’s their intense sexual chemistry and Perry’s flashes of sincerity that makes it understandable why Celeste struggles to leave.

'Big Little Lies' recap: 'Serious Mothering'
Nicole Sperling

Excerpt from the Entertainment Weekly review on Episode 2 of BLL:

And yet, I’m saving the best for last. We need to talk about Celeste and Perry. We first see the gorgeous duo driving their darling twin boys to school. He’s apologizing for last night’s abuse. She’s suggesting they finding a new counselor. It’s just another day in the life of a harmful marriage. All seems peaceful for the moment, but that, of course, changes in an instant when they pull into the parking lot of the school and Celeste tells Perry they can’t go inside — they are supposed to just drop the boys off and move on. Switch flipped, and darkness clouds those beautiful features of Mr. Skarsgard.

Link to the full article: http://ew.com/recap/big-little-lies-episode-2/

There is much more about Perry and Celeste, but lots of spoilers if you haven't seen the episode. The reviewer gives the episode an A-

Alex is up to number 20 on the IMDB Star Meter. BLL will bring him lots of attention even if the focus is on the female stars.

Great news. Definitely was smart of him to do a good project like this one for HBO. Hopefully the publicity will help his upcoming projects as well :smile:
Im still mad he did not get to do any interviews for Big Little Lies. Hopefully they will release some on set or behind the scenes interview after the show.
