Little Fires Everywhere

With just 3 episodes completed so far I am writing this review because there have been some consistent things. 1) Kerry Washington is really hard to watch. She only seems to have emotional extremes and it really makes you wonder how no one has ever coached her on subtle acting. 2) Reese Witherspoon is basically the exact same mom from Big Little Lies but now in a different show. 3) The child/teenage actors are actually all pretty good so far. I think the plot is developing nicely and has been pretty in-line with the book so far. Looking forward to seeing more. Sorry for you Scandal lovers but Miss Washington is tough for me

Kerry Washington better be glad the rest of the cast is great especially the young lady playing her daughter. If it wasn't for them I dont think I could watch it. She overreacts every scene she is in. I do like the time period in the movie and the plot through episode 3 is great so far.

The series is pretty good. Most of the actors are spot on, all the kids are wonderful. The writing is decent and direction impactful. They have really captured the 90s well. The only failing of the show is casting two terribly wrong actors for perhaps the most important characters as its with them the story moves forward. This is the worst of Kerry Washington and Huang Lu hasn't done justice to her role either. Kw seems to have perfected her trembling and making that one annoying af face in the mirror, and no matter what the situation, she pulls the same trick out.. every show, every character, no exceptions. She is deeply unlikable as Mia and so you just can't root for her character. The producers really did drop the ball with casting someone with such limited emotional range. If you can ignore her atrocious presence, the series itself is pretty decent. On the bright side, Lexie Underwood as pearl is pitch perfect. What a bright star!!

As one reviewer said, Kerry Washington seems to show the same emotional face in every projects she works on. She made the same emotional face on the show "Scandal". Reese is great as always and so is Kerry, however, that emotional face has got to go!

I was so bother by Kerry Washington's facial expressions. I almost stop watching it because of it. Unnecessarily, she was extremely dramatic.
