      At some point, I just couldn’t continue watching big little lies because it’s so disturbing yet good. The twisted love and abusive relationship are just too much to take down. I was afraid that one day Celeste would get herself killed but still loves Perry. It’s terrifying when watching all the violent scenes. But man, they portrait such real characters that can connect with the audiences.

Family and Friends in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, all in French speaking communities, none of them have heard of Canadian French. However, we all have heard of Acadian French, which is the origin of the French spoken in New Orleans.

      @@sara-stinabergstedt3019 Alexander Skarsgård was known in Sweden for people interested in movies and had had some roles before his Hollywood career, but to say he was "very famous" is a serious exaggeration. His dad though, very very famous. Alexander, not as much. Most people probably just knew him through his dad. He didn't even have any big roles in any big Swedish movies. He did a bunch of episodes in a low key soap opera in the late 90s called White Lies (Vita Lögner) and then a few forgettable films like Wings of Glass. He was mostly known as a pretty boy.
