Little Fires Everywhere
2020 · 1 Season · Hulu · Drama
Little Fires Everywhere benefits enormously from the combustible pairing of Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington as two mothers whose opposing worldviews collide in a planned community where rules are everything. The show explores race, class, motherhood, and the limits of good intentions with enough nuance to provoke genuine reflection. It occasionally overplays its hand with melodramatic plot turns, and the custody battle subplot carries more thematic weight than it can always support dramatically.
