And heritage a mess it's a mess at his press conference 2 weeks ago jobs are pouring out of the country you see what's going on with all of the companies leaving our country going to Mexico and other places. Low pay low wages it just wasn't right I could give you the state of the macro economy chapter and verse right here about how jobs are back and wages are rising and confidence is and has been up but as the saying goes show don't tell so here with the marketplace economic data point of the day the American dollar stocks backed off their big gains of yesterday because Repeat after me markets go down too but the greenback holy cow has been on a tear marketplaces Abri been a short supply is what's going on basically there's a party in America right now and the rest of the world wants to crash it I don't want to ask to do it the fun of I don't an economic data mana is with the Wells Fargo investment Institute So if you look at you know initial jobless claims or leading economic indicators or a lot of manufacturing or consumer sentiment educators they've all been through the cycle for investors that's like. Kegs a nice Luzhin a d.j. So people investors around the world are looking at the us and saying the party looks pretty good let's put our money there they're buying us dollars and driving the price of the dollar up and there's something else going on here too Christopher Vecchio is senior currency strategist with daily f.x. The Dollars been lifted up the past few days on the idea strengthening of the Federal Reserve will raise rates at their March policy meeting a number of Fed officials have said they're open to raising interest rates so again that German pension fund or Japanese had fun sees higher interest rates on the horizon here and low interest rates in the rest of the world and it is a no brainer where they want to put their money this is a problem for the president Derek scissors is resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute a stronger dollar makes our exports a little less competitive and widens our trade deficit has said and of course everyone agrees we want to stronger American economy but he's also said in here people do disagree he was trying to trade deficit he thinks the trade deficit cost jobs but economists like Bob Murphy who teaches economics at Boston College say exporters going to just a short term price increases and it's really pretty normal for a trade deficit to widen for a little while when the economy's doing great times are reasonably good the economy is on a solid footing right now and a widening trade deficit as a result of a stronger dollar are more of a side effect not he says a sign of weakness in New York I'm sorry Ben a sure for Marketplace topic do today The Wall President Trump says it is going to be built executive orders have been signed and government bureaucracy has been set into motion the Department of Homeland Security is getting ready to solicit bids for the design and construction of wall prototypes and when last we checked 346 companies had expressed interest Marketplace's Kimberly Adams has that story right now the government is just testing the waters Myra see se is with the Government Contractors Association this is one of the Early on steps where we. Call it a market survey where they're going out checking to see who out there is qualified to deliver the scope of work and hundreds of companies are interested we're talking about $20000000000.00 in potential government money here from logistics firms to tech companies including several Hispanic owned businesses and he girl started Martinez construction services with her sister she says they've been working with partners to jump on the opportunity they have been talking to them and coming up but some idea I don't know I think that would be easy to install because some of these locations are very hard to get to hard to get materials to the geographic challenges are just one problem facing the government there's also the issue of land ownership only about a 3rd of the border is actually controlled by the federal government David beer is with the Cato Institute we're likely to see some serious pushback from property owners along the border who will fight in court seizures that take their land in order to build this wall and those eminent domain fights can get nasty and expensive Presidents Bush and Obama tried to build more barriers along the border to Denise Gellman at the University of Texas Law School followed the drama then when we last studied the impact of the border wall we found that where private property was scheduled to be taken it was most likely to affect smaller Latino families property owners but to build a wall along the end tire border the government would have to buy land from everyone in Washington I'm Kimberly Adams for Marketplace I know a stockbroker once who every time I talk to him seriously every time he said the market is looking for a reason the buy not today we'll have the details when we do the numbers.

That commission is less important these days you're looking at firms like Fidelity and Schwab who are more interested in getting customers in the door so they can sell Mother services services like retirement planning and personal investment advice either way lowering fees is a win for individual investors Greg McBride is at bankrate dot com This isn't just about reduced commissions on stock trades we see lower expenses on index funds and exchange traded funds on marketable fronts there are ways for consumers to reduce their investment expenses and that's the way it looks like a sort of restructuring in the asset management business consumers have a bunch of options and they're getting pickier again Michael Meyer if your financial services company you know is historically in the trading business you need to find another revenue stream somehow firms like the Delany and Schwab aren't just in the trading business they'll likely weather this price war t.d. Ameritrade gets almost half of its revenue from those commissions it lowered its fee but it still sits at almost $7.00 I made you learn from Marketplace. Greece and the international coalition to which it owes a whole bunch of money are working their way through a revised agreement that could emphasis on the could here get Athens some financial breathing room the Greek government is hoping the recent populist wave could help persuade creditors it's time for an end to 2 years of austerity because as the B.B.C.'s Kevin Connolly reports from Athens every day Greeks are just about out of gas. And if so listen to the whole thing in the long. Descript suburb about this week and get the deficit and debt and mind set by banks. The protesters of a movement called I won't say they feel looking through crowding onto the judicial bench is spilling over into the with the spokes people sick of austerity as the activists in the us have put up a last 50 percent of the Greek people who are poor and in their effects of good and we're here to protect all these people shot so I think that's going to keep the court off Goldman Sachs be adding to the many young Greeks the only.

Oh yeah. I got Reese feels exhausted by austerity even the rag and bone man working the streets of Athens around us for scrap metal was coming up with nothing.

They really ought to be assigned to busk anomic so it would measure the mood in the economy and the income of its peak musicians and by that measure Greece is still feeling pretty flat.

In the temple students enter the room is packed with undergraduates who are studying criminal justice traffic is heavy at the table of Homeland Security Investigations a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement it tackles international games smuggling and human trafficking cases and that kind of work sounds attractive to Adam leisure He's a 19 year old sophomore who says he's wanted a job in federal law enforcement since he was a sophomore in high school he stressed in a suit hoping to find an internship immigration it's a hot topic right now with all the racial profiling troubling stuff like that but. I think that when they enforce the laws of a half too such as getting the big cartels that's left out of the borders and I think it's very important in their interest that's more. What the investigations unit here today dad's last every day deportations the 2 recruiters representing the department said they couldn't talk to members of the press but holy Logan the staff member at Temple whose job is to connect public employers and students says she's hearing from her federal government contacts that they'll be looking for border region soon so she expects to see more recruiters they would attempt likely to come on campus more and to interact more with students in a variety of ways Customs and Border Patrol in particular had already been struggling to fill open positions under the Obama administration part of the reason is the agency's screening process in place because of the temptations that come with working on border smuggling routes but it also has to do with the remote work locations and other demands of the job Professor Cheryl irons teaches criminal law it's Hampel says she's had 2 previous students hired by Customs and Border Patrol criminal justice students are always interested in federal law enforcement because they actually pay much better than regular local or county or city.

A job in Philadelphia and the Jacobs for Marketplace. We started with a piece on currency the dollar we're going to go out on a piece about currency as well the euro this time Peter Navarro the head of President Trump's new national trade Council calls the single currency grossly under a valued and he blames directly the Germans who Navarro says are getting an unfair trade advantage over their American competitors because the euro is so cheap Marketplace's Stephen Beard reports this is just the latest in a string of complaints about the strength of the German economy at the expense of many many others. Buckingham Palace is festooned with swastikas German soldiers patrol the London streets the Nazis of occupied Britain. From London to the opening scene in a new b.b.c. Drama which imagines Hitler winning the wall the world rejoices that he didn't after defeat Germany evolved into a peace loving democratic and benign Bolton state but in a paradoxical twist of history Germany still dominates Europe and says economist Roger Bootle thanks to the creation of the euro the Germans have unintentionally helped Kohls mayhem on the continent misery in South and you are an economic disaster frankly Greece it would have been much better if Germany had kept the Dutch month priced in euros Germany's products are much cheaper than they would otherwise have been perhaps turn the country into a champion export but also help plunge its poor. Less competitive European partners into debt and deficit while it racks up ever larger trade surpluses Germany is running a current account surplus of getting on for 9 percent of g.d.p. This surplus is in absolute terms bigger than the Chinese surplus the trumpet ministration has now accused Germany of boosting its exports at the expense of American jobs and businesses and unfairly profiting from a grossly undervalued currency that accusation effectively lumps it in with China and Japan as a currency manipulator many Germans bridle at that the strength of the currency is not set by the Germans it is set by the e.c.b. And the president last time I looked was an Italian German commentator Hein Childers says the weakness of the euro is due to the European central bank printing money buying government bonds and driving down interest rates all that is definitely not German but he must concede his country has done very nicely out of the euro and its recent weakness that is true but the Germans will pick up all the taps if there is failure and a breakdown of the system though German exports have profited from the euro few European observers believe that was the country's main motivation in adopting it it was part of the process of ever closer European integration to avoid another war and for Germany to atone for its Nazi crimes in this the euro has spectacularly backfired. These are Greek reservists waiting on the day the German leader visited Athens at the height of the debt crisis. But it was. Credibly there shouting Nazis out their commander said we're protesting against the 4th Reich against German oppressors imposing austerity Steve Davis is with the Institute of Economic Affairs the fact that the country which is in the dominant position is Germany which has all these historic associations. This is doubly unfortunate you know in Greece memories of the war are still quite fresh if the Germans want to placate their critics in Europe and the us he says they've just got to lighten up on the export saying what they can do is trying to shift the balance of their economy away from a very heavy reliance on exports to much broader lots on domestic consumption and to import small he says the survival of the euro and transatlantic relations could depend upon in London I'm Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

E.t.u. 3 from the number one cast Center this is the daily report from the world of art entertainment and culture and here's your host John Hart. Hey there and welcome to Day producer Bruna pop Andrea's goal is to make movies and t.v. Shows that feature multiple complex female characters those are exactly the kinds of projects that Hollywood somehow forgets are worth making I see it happen every time it happens when it happened with bridesmaids when it happened with Peter when it happened with hidden fake it's like it's an anomaly Oh my God what a surprise and comedian David Spade obsession with The Bachelor. But we're going to start today with the new kid on the reality television block and that is Netflix the company has come a long way from the days that it just sense of describers D.V.D.'s in the mail after becoming a streaming service Netflix soon started producing its own scripted t.v. Shows feature films documentaries and now reality television Here's a taste of the new Netflix reality competition show it's called Ultimate beastmaster. The late. Does that sound like a show that's reinventing reality television Well Bloomberg entertainment reporter Lucas Shaw says that it could do just that he joins us now to explain how Lucas Welcome back to the show thanks for having me so tell us a little bit about ultimate Beastmaster it's kind of a crazy obstacle course competition kind of a version of American Ninja Warrior but maybe. And more expensive Yeah it's it's almost similar to the show that you just mentioned which is on n.b.c. And funnily enough after I wrote the story I got invited to run the obstacle course for that show ultimate Beastmaster is this contest that pits contestants from 6 different countries all of which which are either major markets already for Netflix or markets where it wants to be a big deal that goes through this obstacle course that is housed within the structure that shaped like a huge beast and then you have announcers a pair of announcers from each of those 6 countries that are cheering on the contestants from from their home country and also providing general commentary and what makes it so unique is that Netflix is making 6 different cutting 6 different versions of the show the same times are typically with a reality show like you know American Idol Big Brother you can take your pick it starts in one country and if it works then they clone it and sell it around the world and that's how a reality t.v. Producer makes a lot of money because they own often that format Netflix because they don't sell to anyone because they're already around the world they make this one show have 6 different versions for different parts of the world and have cut out that whole extra process and some are not like this is about their interest in reality t.v. And their desire to reach a global audience as you reported recently the company will very soon have more customers outside the United States than at home yet for Netflix the next part of their story and their strategy is adding customers all around the world they still care about growing in the u.s. a Lot of their biggest programming is still enough to quote unquote for a u.s. Audience but they are about to cross $100000000.00 worldwide and for Netflix to reach their their end goal of $300400000000.00 perhaps even more customers around the world most of those new sign ups are going to come from somewhere other than the u.s. And so if you have always have to look at Netflix as programming from the perspective of a come. An event is really programming for the world at the same time whereas most other t.v. Networks are programming for the us 1st and then hoping that their shows work everywhere else we don't know what Netflix is ratings are but they have done some unscripted programming before with a documentary series chef table and the 1st season of the talk show Chelsea 2 we know what their long term plans are in reality television and unscripted content is all to make beat Master kind of their 1st dip in what could be a big swim I think they're just getting started they've hired a few different executives from other dream or traditional media companies to ramp up their you know chefs table was really more of a one off great idea that was well received Chelsea was the opposite they wanted to experiment with talk shows the 1st season didn't seem to go particularly well and now they're going to rebooting but Beastmaster is the 1st in the John of reality competition and ice over the next year or 2 you're going to see a lot of new unscripted reality t.v. From Netflix their chief content officer said that they'll release about 20 shows this year and that number will keep going up I mean the way to go back to the idea that they're just spending to acquire subscribers the advantage that Netflix has is that because they don't have to worry about profits they can just better spend like a drunken sailor whereas a lot of these other companies are a lot more cost conscious this could come back and bite them in the future but for now it means you're just going to see a ton of new shows from them the creators of scripted series have often said that Netflix gives them broad creative control is the same idea works in unscripted reality programming where these creators have not you know carte Blash but they have a lot more creative freedom than they might enjoy at a major network that is what you hear from reality t.v. Producers with regard to most of these shows yes Netflix says as long as they like the idea and they think it's going to work for their audience they're not a lot of notes on what you should be doing I was meeting with a reality producer earlier this week who said that on a recent show for a different company he went to like 12 there. King ransom notes and it drove him absolutely crazy because he just wanted to get the show done there wasn't supposed to be all this interference that's not something that the most of these folks encounter at Netflix and when will you be running the obstacle course in American Ninja Warrior because we want to alert the paramedics ahead of time. Michael next week Lucas Shaw is a media reporter for Bloomberg he's the author of the story Netflix reinvents reality t.v. By making same show 6 times Lucas thanks for coming back on the show thanks I'm. Going to get a few years ago when the producer Bruno pop entre set up a production company with Reese Witherspoon they began optioning books and developing projects that featured women in starring roles that made the movies wild and gone girl and though they parted ways last year they still have projects in the works and some new productions including the h.b.o. Limited series Big Little Lies it's based on the novel of the same name by the Australian writer Leanne Moriarty for the series The setting was moved from Sydney to the upscale northern California town of Monterey all 7 episodes were directed by Dallas Buyers Club director John Mark Felt like they were written by Alec McBeal creator David e. Kelley The story includes a murder mystery but it's also very much about a group of women in the community they are negotiating complicated relationships with each other their children and the sometimes violent men in their lives when pop and dry joined us in our studios this week she began with what struck her about Leanne Moriarty's book I had a really kind of big reaction to the fact that he has this amazing book with this kind of mystery at Santa that had 5 complex women also at its center and that was really exciting to me given you know what the mandate of my company is and what is the mandate of your company what the mandate of my company with Racinet that still demanded of my new company is to put women at the center of stories. You know and really just kind of trying to find complexity in characters and you know give us different portraits of women at the center of our storytelling and as a kind of extension to that behind the camera but with Big Little Lies this is a book written by a woman it's about women in your telling was written by David e. Kelley guy yeah white guy and directed by John Mark well a white guy yes I mean I think every situation is very different you know I do believe this was written by Obviously Leon and David you know I mean a book is completely a blueprint for this series and David e. Kelley would say the same thing he was someone that approached OS and I had long been a fan of and really kind of understood the material deeply the that was the reason for that choice and John Bell a of course we had a relationship with and we had directed well to write and we've had an amazing experience with him and really wanted to have reviewed experience to be honest when we often it to him he's always so busy I'm always pretty set announced going to be not so will it kind of shocked and happily surprised when he said yes the book and I think the series to a lesser extent have a lot to say about beauty and the ideas of what standards women are subjected to Madeline who's the character played by release in the book says quote to be fat and ugly actually would be the end of the world for her unquote Yeah I think the I think the book has a lot to say about the kind of you know just the pressures on women to you know even literally dropping your kids off at school to look and behave a certain way and I think hopefully we kind of dispel a lot of those myths in kind of uncovering what's really at the hot of these people that there's just mold beneath the what seems like the perfect the Nia but it's tricky because also in the book the character of Jane played by shaving Woodley says we live in a beauty obsessed a society where the most important thing a woman can do is make herself look attractive to men and I have to. As with popular culture sending so many messages to men and to women about what is and is not due to fall your cast is stunningly beautiful I mean there's not an unattractive woman in a lead role and does it suggest in a certain way that this is what you should look like even if the subtext of the story is you shouldn't worry about what you look like no I have I think yes I mean these women are all beautiful in different ways but I you know I you know I do think they're also they feel you know very real and again we are representing a pot of what this story is about is what lies beyond the kind of pick excess and I think you know that's that the truth is that so much of that is what we present and then so much of that is who we really are so you know I think that is kind of part of it I've noticed that among the people who are tweeting very enthusiastically about the series are Jenny Conner the executive reserve girls and I can't help but imagine that there is a growing chorus of women producers who are not only recognizing words like this but realize that they may have a moment and they may have a chance to kind of turn the tables do you feel that as well yeah I do feel that I mean I have to say because I get asked this question all the time you know has it been hard for you as a woman in you know is it a man club and and yes it is Towson extent that said I've never you know I just don't I don't set myself any kind of boundaries I never have and you know I'm a girl who grew up with a literally moments nothing and kind of grew up in a housing estate and you know somehow kind of found my way to Hollywood so I think of i'd let anything stand in my way putting men then I wouldn't be sitting here to be really honest. But I do feel like the wind is on our backs but boy do we have you know we've got a long way to go if things are still terrible they are shockingly terrible and we've all seen that the figures went down last year not up even in light of describing conversation so there is a huge amount of weight.

Arts entertainment culture show I'm John can always get this show is a podcast on every you find your podcast on a recent show I chatted with Malcolm in the middle. About her acting career it's gone from theater to television and now back to theater now more of my conversation with. She's an executive producer of the series Big Little Lies it's plain and. Now it's based on the novel by Leon Moriarty which pop Andrea and Reese Witherspoon option for the screen pop Andre is mandate for her newly formed production company made up pictures is to create films and t.v. Series that feature women who are complex characters she also wants to work more to hire women behind the camera and for that she's collaborating with women in film and the Sundance Institute their new initiative which is called Re frame we'll talk about that in a bit but we start with what Big Little Lies is doing on screen namely giving 5 actresses Nicole Kidman Shailene Woodley Laura Dern Zoe Kravitz and Reese Witherspoon the chance to act opposite one another one of the things that's notable about Bigelow wise is there's not just one part for a woman there are multiple parts for women and we were talking in that only Portman about the making of Jackie and she said that one of the best parts of award season was that she got to hang out with other actresses because she doesn't get to hang out with other actresses in the making of movies because there are no other parts for women here's what she had to say I'm consistently surprised that male directors aren't making more movies with female characters or putting more than one female character in a movie over and over again I see these movies that are like 20 men and one woman and it just cements the idea that there is room for the table I think that is that you know she's identified exactly the big problem and it is cultural it's not just business women and not represented anywhere in the numbers they should be not just announced Tories you know in you only have to look at Wall Street or you know to say who the you know how many women sit on boards of Fortune 500 companies so President of United States maybe Yeah exactly exactly and she's she's identified huge issues and you know. One of the things obviously that attracted me to be lies in and I recently used to joke about this because we have a couple. Books with groups of women like Ashley have this will which is about 5 Fame out such as and it's like Nirvana you know it's like oh my God not only is they want me you're lucky if his 2 Dylan is 5 and that was part of the amazing thing is people say to me Well how did you gather such an amazing group of women these women was so excited to work together and they fed off each other they helped each other and I felt good what I just had Natalie say I have heard many actresses say you know I'm very conscious of that and actually really looking always for things not just have multiple women in it but to see stories that have historically been about men told by women and put women at the center of the I mean I think hidden figures is a great example of the highest grossing of all the Academy Award nominated best pictures but there is always a vacuum of parts for on solid balls led by women so even with the success of hidden figures even with the great notices and I suspect good audience are going to get when big little eyes you are paddling a canoe not a river but up a you know a cascade a a rapid So how do you make sure that you get these stories told and does the way in which people say no volved Yeah I think they know isn't a strident and you're right it is if I see it happen every time it happens when it happen with bridesmaids when it happened with pitch perfect when it happened with hidden figures it's like it's an anomaly Oh my God Well what a surprise you know and you're right there is this huge void and so you know I think the it puts maybe a little bit more pressure on kind of produces and create is to us put the pieces of the puzzle together so that they compelling enough that people have no choice but to make them and then you know I always believe that if you do it right it's going to be good business and a good business case is very important but the other thing that happens it's not just that those successes are considered to be anomalous is that the failures are a referendum so those. All female goes Busters is like this won't work it's not like people would say the same thing about you know John Carter at planned well that's never going to work and so I couldn't do it again but that if there's a specific iteration it becomes the referendum on the overall idea that the movies that succeed are exceptions and the one that fails is the rule yeah no you're totally right you're well it's like a magnifying glass just kind of waiting you know to to kind of played a different case but you know the more there is the more it'll be undeniable and I think that I do feel an openness from Certainly you know the studios and you know different kind of investors that I'm working with to make these movies so given the odds and given that the nature of the town how do you remain optimistic. I mean I'm an optimist and I cannot be optimistic it's my job to kind of pave the way for other people and to get I have a young daughter I have a 4 year old daughter if I don't you know if we if we the mothers don't try and change things. You know it is really up to us and I am I am optimistic I mean I have had great success in getting a lot of these female driven movies and t.v. Shows made in the last few days and I do feel like a back to your other question I do feel like television's done a much better by next question why is t.v. Better do you think people television's always been able to kind of in in some ways take more risks you know take more risks discovering act is and it's always felt like a place that has really broken new voices particularly to me and given you know put right is at the center of it which is right where they should be I don't think films done as good a job as that So I think you know given the growth of t.v. And the opportunities there I think they're just you know are there for pay it to roll the dice a little bit more and you know it's definitely an arena that I'm bigger lies with my face series. Will be your last well you know really not I think a watching We're talking with Bruno pop and she's an executive. Zur of the new h.b.o. Miniseries Big Little Lies we call many series because of the series well in this trailer we call it a mini series way the miniseries never went away as rabbit I think in America a little limited series of limited series you're currently working with women in film and the Sundance Institute on the new initiative called reframe which is trying to change the numbers for women what can it do the way that the women in film and Sundance has gone about gathering this group of men and women it and really we've had a couple of different summits and a lot of get togethers is to really try and identify what some of the coal issues what what is stopping fame on direct is from making that jump from you know Sundance movie to studio movie right the guys get to do it the women death and you know what is some of the perceptions in the business about women you know there's literally and not you had Cathy Sheldon talk about it on this show there is a perception that women cannot handle big budgets as produces and as direct is there is a perception that if a woman acts out or you know maybe raise the voice she's a majlis where there's yeah she answers he's a bitch you know and a man and I've seen many men behave badly and that it's just they're not to stick genius or they are you know what we're really trying to identify with a friend is like what are some of the perceptions how can we change them one of the pieces of research which I found so interesting through a frame is you know what using the n.f.l. As an example in the Rooney role you know it's not about mandating hiring it's about mandating at least putting people in front of you for the job of the right role as you have to interview somebody who is not a white guy for a job you don't have to hire him to coach your n.f.l. Team but you have to meet with about the hiring practices changed dramatically when they kind of institute that policy and I think what a lot of people are doing and of judge a Rooms is doing it is like starting to mandate like when you give me a list for riders make sure. Since the world we live in make sure it's you know inhabited by women make sure you know there's real diversity there well this is what happened with Wal-Mart on their commercials during the Oscars where they said they couldn't get a woman director and mayor and I are tweeted you can call me so it's making sure that people have less in front of them is that what you're trying to do as an ambassador and it is it's making sure that you understand that you know we create you know lists of like just you know I think the Hollywood Reporter actually published a list and it was 100 women directors it was actually Kyle Buchanan who my partner on the word show show he did it on nature it was him it was an amazing listening even I it triggered my memory of who these you know amazing filmmakers that I had grown up with you know that kind of get forgotten if they make an indie movie and they don't make another movie for if he is and I think for maybe one of the problems I really say is the mid Korea woman it's you know the woman who made a movie to maybe the 2nd movie didn't quite do well at the box office and no one's giving them another shot whereas I do think men get to maybe have a few more fairly as and still you know will have a sort of put you on the on the spot when you sit down to hire your next director how conscious are you going to be to put a finger on the scale or a hand on the scale to make sure that you are hiring maybe a woman if she is qualified to do it yeah I mean I'm incredibly conscious of it I've done an Ok job at it you know I'm working with my 2nd director of the last 5 things I've done that's that's a male but I need to do a better job I think we all need to do a better job going to put my hand up and say I you know I've done the best job but you know the last couple of Directors list as lists that I've created some of them have been 90 percent women because particularly with some of the material that where developing some of the big material that to your point John women on being given I'm very very conscious of it brunette is the executive producer of Big Little Lies it's on h.b.o.
