This Apple original is an anthology series from the husband and wife team behind The Big Sick, Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, along with Master of None co-creator Alan Yang and The Office's Lee Eisenberg. In its first season (a second is already in pre-production), Little America offers eight half-hour vignettes depicting the immigrant experience in present-day America, inspired by the true stories reported in the column of the same name at Epic Magazine.
“Although each finely crafted, beautifully filmed, well-photographed vignette naturally touches on hot-button social circumstances and issues, 'Little America' is hardly some overwrought piece of propaganda advocating extreme takes on either side of the political spectrum. It’s far too nuanced and complex and sophisticated for that. It’s also funny as hell at times, and filled with memorable portraits.” —Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
