Little Fires Everywhere is decadent in all the right ways. Like a glass of good bourbon-- strong and smooth, we feel and taste the seismic magnitude of each performance, our palettes pleasantly get the taste of Tiffany Boone, who gives us a performance so stirring-- she has us in awe, second guessing our eyes, and our ears, hypnotizing us with a persona so dazzling we question the space-time continuum where Tiffany Boone's Mia ends and Kerry Washington's Mia begins. We're drunk in love by the electric introduction of Professor Pauline (Anika Noni Rose)-- and the chemistry that Rose and Boone share onscreen.
By the time Nicole Beharie's character comes on screen, we are wonderstruck by everything that could possibly go right in a TV series. AnnaSophia Robb and Tiffany Boone give us the best cast younger versions of any characters in recent TV history. We simultaneously want more screen time of the past and the present in Little Fires Everywhere, this show is that good!
Ans lastly, kudos go to the the showrunner, Liz Tigelaar, who put together an incredible cast, crew and adaptation of Celeste Ng's novel. Tigelaar is great at weaving together ensemble casts and content that tugs at your heart-strings. Life, Unexpected was one of my faves.
You can watch new episodes of Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu, released on Wednesdays.
