Little Fires Everywhere TV Thread

This is so worth the watch. Great performances from the whole cast.

We have watched the first five episodes of Little Fires Everywhere and really enjoying it so far.

I thought this was great. I had already read the book. Watched over 2 nights on Amazon Prime last weekend.

We finished this last night, really enjoyed it as well. The acting was excellent, Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington were obviously the standouts, but the lassie that played Izzy was really good too (as was everyone in fairness). Not sure if it's because the subjects of racial and wealth inequality are so prevalent just now, or just because the writing and performance were so good (probably a bit of both), but I can't remember hating a character like Witherspoon's as much as I did in this. There have been plenty of spiteful, vindictive, tone-deaf, selfish, control freak characters in TV over the years, but I really, really hated her. Great show.

I found it really kicked into gear for the last four episodes. Turned out to be a great series. Your sympathy swayed from one character to the next as the episodes developed.
