Little Fires Everywhere is the name of a brand new Hulu original series. It stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, two moms with very different backgrounds and a very different way of living.
The first season of Little Fires Everywhere consists of eight episodes in total, and they each last for about 60 minutes. I have seen the first two episodes, so I will share my thoughts about Little Fires Everywhere based on the first two episodes.
What is Little Fires Everywhere about?
Reese Witherspoon is the mum in a house with 4 kids. Three are what you would call normal, while the fourth is a rebellious kid who has a hard time connecting with her mum and with the rest of her siblings. She dresses in a strange way, and she is causing a lot of trouble for her mum. Still, this is a perfect family (seen from the outside) and they live in a fantastic home that many would consider looking like a palace.
Kerry Washington plays the role of a single mum. They arrive in the city where the character of Reese Witherspoon's family lives, and Reese Witherspoon shows great kindness towards the newcomers, even though Kerry Washington and her character behaves quite rudely.
In the end, Kerry starts to work in the house of Reese Witherspoon and they rent a flat owned by the character of Reese Witherspoon. In other words, their lives are sewn together in a very close way.

Is it healthy? Will this make things turn better for everyone? Or is this new relationship going to cause trouble?
And what is it with the fire in the house? After all, the first episodes start with us all seeing the house of the Reese Witherspoon family burn to the ground, and many people believe that it is her troubled 11-year old daughter who is to blame.
Is Little Fires Everywhere worth watching?
It is always interesting with shows in which you know where it all leads, but you are discovering step by step how they got there, and you might also get clues to who did it, why they did it, and so on... but you never really know before you get to the point at which you saw a clip earlier.
The story is built up in a good way, and it is interesting to see the story develop, and to see all the positives and negatives of the two families we follow so closely.
My thoughts on Little Fires Everywhere!
I haven't received an adrenaline kick from the show, but I guess that isn't what it is about either. But, the show has managed to make me curious, and I look forward to the future six episodes to see how the story will move on. It is a perfect drama, and I believe that especially women will enjoy this show. At least that is what happened in my home (my wife really enjoys the show).
Where to watch Little Fires Everywhere?
Currently, you can watch it on Hulu in the United States. I don't know of any other place where you can watch Little Fires Everywhere at the moment (except for pirate sites like Flixtor), but it might get to streaming services like HBO GO/HBO in Europe, SKY in the UK, and other similar services in the future.
