Warning: Spoilers for the Season 2 premiere of Big Little Lies ahead.

Game of Thrones may be gone, but honestly who cares, because Big Little Lies is back to fill the void in our television obsessed, meme-loving hearts.

On Sunday night the already stacked cast of Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley welcomed the iconic Meryl Streep to the show for a drama-packed Season 2 premiere.

We got to see how "The Monterey Five" were doing post-crime/murder/coverup, and in case you were wondering, they're not so great! There's a lot to talk about after the episode, but perhaps equally important, there's a lot to meme about.

Reese was savagely called "short," Shailene wildly danced on a beach to the Call Me By Your Name Sufjan Stevens song, "Mystery of Love," and Meryl straight-up screamed at a dinner table. Meme-making gold, I tell ya! Please enjoy this quick recap of the episode highlights in meme form.

Can't wait to see the memes Season 2, Episode 2 inspires. We have a feeling there will be many more screams to come.
