Big Little Lies [1] killed it (pun intended) in the music department. The first episode alone features seven fantastic songs — including the intro theme [2] — that you'll almost definitely want on all your playlists, and there's even more on the following episodes. Now that we know who's dead and whodunit [3], let's take stock of the music throughout the entire miniseries.
