Little Fires Everywhere
Created by Liz Tigelaar
On Hulu
A tightly wound, character-driven drama about motherhood, identity, and the secrets that fracture seemingly perfect suburban lives, built on sustained tension across eight episodes rather than episodic reset.
The intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. Explore the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
