Here is an interesting article from The Guardian about the HBO show Big Little Lies.

The article focuses on how female friendship is sold as a commodity to encourage us (usually women) to buy products associated with the show. One example given is Reese Witherspoon's clothing line 'Draper James' that launched a dress named after her Big Little Lies character, Madeline.
