1 Big Little Lies, "What Have They Done?" Phillip Maciak , 2019 single work column
— Appears in: Los Angeles Review of Books , June 2019;

'Phil Maciak starts off our coverage of the second season of HBO’s Big Little Lies. He’ll be joined by various guest stars over the next few weeks. There are spoilers below, so if you fainted the second Meryl Streep spoke (because she’s too good for this earth) in the first episode, “What Have They Done?” then wake up and finish watching before you read this.' (Introduction) 
1 Big Little Lies, "The End of the World" Phillip Maciak , 2019 single work column
— Appears in: Los Angeles Review of Books , June 2019;

'Phil Maciak asks why Big Little Lies is so unwilling to follow the money in “The End of the World,” the third episode of its second season. There are spoilers below, but, be aware that Phil doesn’t say anything about the climate change stuff in this episode. There was once a time when he was optimistic about a Sunday-night HBO drama series taking climate change seriously as a subject, but that turned out to be a big sham, and he looks like a real dupe for ever believing in it. So he’s not going to talk about climate change here. Not today.' (Introduction)
