Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu (Miniseries starring Kerry Washington & Reese Witherspoon)

[JuditeTormentor]

Pearl & Trip did Moody dirty, and idgaf about the feminist way they tried to make it seem right/okay. That's the biggest bro code violation of all-time to fw a chick that your literal brother was tryna get with. Pearl ass knew what she was doing too. Moody was putting the puzzy on a pedestal, though. Hopefully this teaches his ass, and he grows up knowing how to deal with bytches accordingly.


The ending definitely fell apart and made no sense.

Spoiler

IDGAF how mad they were at their evil mom, ain't enough suspended disbelief in the world to make me buy the idea that they burned that house down like that.

I mean, Trip did immediately recognize that what he was doing was wrong. Homie gave himself blueballs just off the guilt alone. In all reality, Pearl caught him off-guard. First with the kiss, then afterwards with her getting into his head and making him think that she was the one who could basically overwrite everything he always thought was wrong with him. Yea, he hurt his brother. And I could never see myself doing anything like that. But we can't just ignore that women are men's greatest weakness. Especially a teenager who is prone to hormones.

As for the spoiler, cacs gon cac. It was weird seeing Lexie play that part, true. Trip I could see go either way. Moody spent the last 3 eps on edge, and I'm honestly surprised he didn't do something way more explosive last episode. All that aside, it is usually the well-off, ostentatiously super-privileged types who does exactly the type of things that these siblings did. Serial killers, suicides, killing parents, killing pets/animals, drug overdoses... those scandals are damn near synonymous with the exact kind of students that Lexie, Trip, and Moody are. Honestly, Issy would be the most obvious suspect to pull a stunt like that. But given her character and how she processes through things, I would find her setting the house on fire to be the least realistic of all 4 siblings.

Resse just keep coming with bangers. Cleveland brehs is it really like that in shaker heights.

Yes, bruh. That's what made me watch this show in the first place--wanting to see how accurately they would capture Shaker. My father's side of the family all lived in Shaker, so that was a big part of my upbringing. I actually went to an independent high school, and the majority population of that school was from Shaker or other adjacent suburbs that were composed of the same types of people.

They are INSUFFERABLY ignorant to their own prejudices and 'cisms. I guess as a kid, my people knew what was up. Because not once did I see anybody from that side of the family kicking it with cacs in the city or outside of school. So I never saw those issues. But once high school hit, I damn near thought I was living in the twilight zone. They were so seriously committed to the make-believe utopia that they'd framed in their minds. And it was generational. So I had to deal with it from peers, their parents, teachers, and admins.

Reese and Lexie captured it too perfectly. As did Pearl. It was most painful watching Pearl.

If what Pearl did wasn't foul, she wouldn't have hid the truth from Moody.

I went to a university with a bunch of rich white kids. Even though plenty of them are dipshyts, they're not all arsonists. They're not burning all of their own shyt at a whim.

Breh keep in mind these are teenagers, are they supposed to know how to correctly navigate a situation like that? Hell most adults don't. Keeping it a secret and not "hurting" the other person is the easiest decision to make in these circumstances. Yeah it wasn't "right" but Moody isn't a pure victim in this situation either.

Good finale but I agree with @re'up about this being very melodramatic (ironic how they were bringing up all them teen dramas earlier). I also thought throughout that no one could've been actually talking like this in 97...maybe 2017 but not in 97. Reese did her thing, Kerry needs to work on being sad/crying, her daughter has a good future in acting tho...but all in all, this is a 1 time watch for me

Certainly not, with lines like "I feel like", I read that the writing group for this read Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility" to help write the script, which is great, I read it too, in 2018, and the original book the character of Mia was not black. I support the show, but I didn't really like it, which I think makes some sense. There's too many shows now, that are mid budget, and underdeveloped, and too quickly shot. With more time and effort, and a rewrite or three, (that baby plot needed to be cut, and the Orphan izzy stuff) and just really focus on the dynamics of race, class, co existence, and oppression. I loved hearing "Honey" (Bad Boy Remix) but the show never really approached or felt like the 90's, the sets and costumes and overall feel was very 2020.

Some of the writing was straight out of Desperate Maids or something, and why did Mia act like she had ZERO social skills, throughout?

First episode in. I fukks with it. Nice writing. Great characters. I have no idea what's gonna happen, but I have some theories. I think I'm gonna watch one episode a day until I'm done.

Good show, just finished it last night.... Reese Witherspoon needs to get her props as actress. I thought she killed this role. Finally a show that sticks the landing on the finale. As much I enjoyed it I kind of hope they don't force a 2nd season. All the kids did a great job. Definitely a show worth binging while on quarantine

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

You’re the second person who doesn’t want a second season. I’m curious as to why?? I would love to see a second season.

There's nowhere for the story to go. Mia and Pearl aren't returning to Shaker Heights, so you'd have to replace them with someone else. You also wouldn't have Izzie, the most interesting of the Richardson children. Not worth it.

Reese Witherspoon is a stone cold bytch on this

Man her TV performances have been on point. Little big lies & The Morning Show is nicee.
