    Starts off well enough, and Reese Witherspoon and Pacey are both good as themselves, but gets worse as the season progresses. The overacting from the others, the constant mouth hanging (close your mouths, people) and the massively implausible plot and twists all hurt. Congratulations on capturing the feel of the 90s though! The clumsy, trite, facile treatment of race and gender issuesStarts off well enough, and Reese Witherspoon and Pacey are both good as themselves, but gets worse as the season progresses.

The clumsy, trite, facile treatment of race and gender issues really reminds of series made 25 years ago, although at least they had the excuse that they didn’t know better?… Expand

    It was quite entertaining until they introduced the ridiculous Chinese woman storyline in episode 2 or 3. I kept hoping it would go away in the next episode but from that moment on the entire series has revolved around it. Reese Witherspoon is superb though, she's the one whose acting elevates the poor writing.

    For all the intense and scalding emotional infernos in “Little Fires Everywhere,” its tendencies to lean into the hot agitation of blood and thunder just becomes too sweltering to bear and averting the disasters in overplaying drama becomes impossible.

    Suspense shows up in the “secrets” that are inevitable in stories this soap operatic. Because that’s what this is, mysteries, conflicts and relationships teased out over eight hours — no cliffhangers — building back towards that opening blaze. And “on the nose” or not, even if the parts don’t much in the way of “She’s really stretching here,” there’s something to be said in very good actresses taking a pitch, right in their wheelhouse, and belting it.

    It's a show that's sometimes funny, sometimes, touching, often disturbing, and almost always hard to look away from except in horror.
