Little Fires Everywhere official Amazon Prime show
Channel 4 viewers are in for a treat with the new addition to their streaming service, Little Fires Everywhere, which first graced screens in 2020 and was a hit on Prime Video before it departed last month.
This gripping eight-part drama has already made waves on Disney+ since May and has now expanded its reach by joining Channel 4’s offering.
Adapted from Celeste Ng’s acclaimed 2017 novel, Little Fires Everywhere delves into the complex lives of two contrasting suburban families at loggerheads.
The official synopsis teases: “Little Fires Everywhere follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives.
“The story explores 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.”
A-list talent Reese Witherspoon takes on the role of Elena Richardson, while Kerry Washington breathes life into Mia Warren, the other pivotal maternal character, reports Surrey Live.
Jesse Williams of Grey’s Anatomy fame, along with Joshua Jackson, Anika Noni Rose, and Lexi Underwood, round out the stellar cast.
Critics and audiences have lavished praise on the show, with Rotten Tomatoes reflecting an impressive 79 percent approval rating, leading some to proclaim Little Fires Everywhere as nothing short of a ‘masterpiece’.
One viewer couldn’t contain their admiration, stating: “An absolute masterpiece. What a masterclass in writing, plot twists and character development. The whole cast was impeccable, an outstanding level of acting.”
Another person shared their thoughts, adding: “Couldn’t stop watching. “Little Fires Everywhere” is a series that shows that life is about choices and secrets. Some are good and some are bad. It also makes you question if you are where you need/want to be in this world. Oh and it’s also just a great drama well acted all the way around.”
Another fan commented: “Was very good and kept me guessing until the end.”
Meanwhile, a fellow enthusiast exclaimed: “PHENOMENAL!!! Please God, don’t let this end after eight episodes.”
Kerry Washington discussed her experience on set with Digital Spy, revealing that she and Reese had motivated each other during filming.
She explained: “When you see that transformation happen on Reese’s face, I was not saying the things that you’re hearing on screen. I was saying other things to try to help her drop into that moment.”
Little Fires Everywhere is available to stream now on Channel 4 and Disney+ in the UK.
