"Little Fires Everywhere" is based on the Celeste Ng 2017 best-selling book by the same name and follows two complex (female) characters and their families in Shaker Heights, a real-life suburb of Cleveland, by telling the story of how their lives unexpectedly begin to intertwine. The Hulu's splashy new 8 episodes miniseries is based in the 90s which is different time from the novel, while first episode drag a lot, but then goes into higher gear all the way until the end. For me, show was a well-crafted drama with believable, multi-layered characters, that tackles issues of motherhood, identity and human nature. At the same time, I must admit that "Little Fires Everywhere" will not be everybody cup of tea, but it was mine and if you found yourself bored with "Big Little Lies" housewives and their lives then this isn't the series for you. Ultimately, "Little Fires Everywhere" is a solid entertaining (melo)drama whose all-around performances carry the show through some of its occasionally overly soapy plot points, but it is also an addictive, emotional story with something to say and that is impossible to look away from.
