| Descripción: | Introduction: This article analyzes the role of sex in the sphere of the secret (hidden) in both seasons of the TV series Big Little Lies, produced by David E.

Objective: The text seeks to highlight the erotic-sexual topic, which although it is offered in a veiled form (since it is not the main topic of the series) reveals diverse aspects linked thereto, moving in the sphere of the occult and the secret, that is, what should be hidden or not talked about. Method: Based on documentary research with a qualitative approach, seeking a possible interpretation of the series, the classical concepts of confession and the truth of sex, according to Michel Foucault, will be reviewed, as well as some ideas taken from Marcella Althaus-Reid's Indecent Theology, and some statements proposed by Gayle Rubin. The concept of party, according to M. Bajtin, and the cliché of the castrating mother as the origin of evil will also be briefly discussed. Results: The findings reveal a particular vision of the sex-eroticism-secrecy trinomial, that moves between the undefined, the hidden, and, as the series points out, “the little big lies” on which the story develops.
