HBO wanted another Big
Little Lies, but it didn't need to order another season of the acclaimed miniseries to get it — the
premium - cable outlet already had a second Jean - Marc Vallée - directed whodunit waiting in the wings, with a bestseller pedigree, powerhouse producer, and Academy
Award winner all its own.
At the time there was very
little availability on AA metal, and I felt lucky to find the
premium saver
award space on the 777 - 200 departing JFK at 7:55 p.m. Generally, though, I prefer taking the latest possible trans - Atlantic flight so that I can get more sleep.
