Little fires everywhere *spoiler alert* title edited by MNHQ

[WantToLeaveButItsHard]

Anybody watched this on Prime?

Oooh no but loved the book! Is it good?

I haven’t read the book, I tried but just couldn’t get into it, but I watched the first two episodes tonight and I liked it. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of it.

I've just watched it .... brilliant series but I personally feel Kerry Washington is the wrong choice for the lead role .. she is neither pleasant nor watchable... her facial expressions alone leave you wondering why she took the role 🤔 ... everyone else is phenomenal .. particularly the young teen cast as Washingtons daughter Pearl and the young teen cast as Izzy... just brilliant 😊

Very enjoyable ... 🌺

I saw the trailer and intrigued. Any good?

great story ... I enjoyed it

I've not actually watched it! I've cancelled my Prime subscription and it ends next week. This has prompted me to ask about this show, because I've seen all the adverts.

its on Kodi

I feel the same about Kerry Washington. Not the personality I imagined Mia to have at all from reading the book and her facial expressions really bug me. Also I feel like they added a bunch of sex scenes that weren’t in the book 🙈

Yes its very disappointing from the 'casting' perspective .. I hope theres a second season .. is that a possibility ?

"It's Saturday......!" (exits bog in Laura Ashley nightie...)
I really enjoyed it - haven't read the book, but Reese Witherspoon's character and indeed her relationship with Joshua Jackson are so similar to Big Little Lies - I will end up calling it 'big little fires everywhere' I'm sure. I'm glad that people feel Kerry Washington was not the best casting fit as I didn't like her either. Agree all the kids are good though.

I’m just finishing a series off then I’m going to start this. I loved the trailer.

Yes Im just wondering if Reese Witherspoon is a one trick pony.

funnily enough we had the same conversation..

The titles are very similar aren’t they?

I love Joshua Jackson, so it’s an added bonus.

Just finished ep1. I've also downloaded the book on Audible.

Man, RWs character really needs Mumsnet doesn't she?

Have you seen The Morning Show?

I don't think k RW is a one trick pony. I think she picks stories with excellent characters.

Yes I've seen The Morning Show.. brilliant just brilliant

I'm watching it now, very similar to Big Little Lies in a way but I'm liking it as I loved that! I've never seen Kerri Washington in anything before, so not sure what to make of her!

I loved the book and was prepared to be disappointed with the series. Not at all; thought it was brilliant. Only watched first episode and if I can get some stuff done today might watch another couple.

I agree that Pearl's mother isn't quite the character in the book -yet. The other actors I feel are pretty spot on. Pearl is superb, as is Izzy. RW is good; I've not seen her much in anything else. The whole Richardson family is well portrayed. Looking forward to the rest.

Kerri Washington is great in Scandal. I've just started it, pretty impressed so far. Keep forgetting it's set in the 90s though lol.

was the book much different OllyBJolly ? I loved the tortured character Izzy..the young actress was great bless her

I'm half way through the series which is a good sign because I often bin series after one episode if they don't capture my attention! I've found I want to know what happens. It's not in my top 10 of best series ever but certainly different and worth a try.

I'm just planning to watch the last 3 episodes instead of the many jobs I should be doing, really enjoying it.

I feel the ending justifies another season.. I wasn't aware of the book until I watches it.. but the ending certainly leaves the option.. here's hoping

Be careful what you wish for. When they did that with Big Little Lies the second season was terrible.
