Critic Reviews

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Dec 11, 2025

Season 1 Review: It’s bingeable but at times feels sloppily plotted. .... Behind it all there are serious points being made about how new mothers can struggle: feeling unable to stop a baby’s incessant crying, trying to manage the demands of older children, dealing with the pressures on a marriage.

Season 1 Review: Overall, though, "Little Disasters" manages to turn a complicated narrative into a cohesive and thought-provoking story about the importance of maternal mental health. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Any mother with a newborn will feel like they’ve stepped into their worst nightmare when watching this well-done Paramount+ six part series based on Sarah Vaughan’s novel. Read full review

Collider Isabella Soares

Dec 10, 2025

Season 1 Review: Although Little Disasters is compelling throughout, the decision to sporadically incorporate a breaking of the fourth wall is pointless in the grand scheme of things. .... These fourth-wall instances play out as redundant and unnecessary dramatic fare. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unsurprisingly, “Little Disasters” doesn’t transcend what it’s so plainly inspired by. Nor does the plot’s most fascinating tension, between vaccine skeptic Jess and her doctor friend Liz (Jo Joyner) — who naturally just so happens to be on duty when Jess turns up at the ER — pay off in a satisfying way as the mystery gets resolved in the six-episode series’ final moments.

Season 1 Review: For at least three of six episodes, the show’s pragmatism when it comes to the main characters’ imperfections is interesting and even entertaining. Still, by the fifth and sixth episodes, which turn several key figures into villainous caricatures and resolve the season-long mystery in cartoonishly unconvincing fashion, I was pondering what, if anything, the show was trying to say. The conclusion I came to was: “Nothing particularly perceptive.” Read full review

Season 1 Review: There is pain, but no payoff. After walking through a horror-house-of-mirrors with domestic violence lurking in every shadow, “Little Disasters” goes full Scooby-Doo with its ending. Read full review
