Bullying isn’t specific to any decade, and we talked to this LittleFiresEverywhere star and the showrunner about how racism, homophobia, and social blind spots have changed today
. It has all the ingredients: a central mystery, complicated neighborhood dynamics, an all-star cast; both are based on popular books and share Reese Witherspoon as an executive producer. The most notable distinction in Hulu’s newest mini-series is that the adults aren’t the only ones getting involved with the drama; it gives legitimate storylines to the show’s five young actors, highlighting that high school is more than homecoming and pep rallies.
Set mostly in 1997, think of the high school storylines as history lessons, of sorts, about how young people understood race, sexuality, feminism, and privilege two decades ago. Izzy stands at that particular intersection while figuring out who she is and how to express herself. Although Izzy doesn’t address the rumors, her presumed sexuality completely ostracizes her from her friends and her family, driving the wedge between Izzy and Elena even deeper.Bullying isn’t specific to any decade — Stott was able to infuse her role with the loneliness her own childhood bullies made her feel — but that Izzy was bullied so intensely for her sexuality took her by surprise, forcing her to examine her own privilege.

Both a portrait of Shaker Heights, Ohio—a planned community driven by purpose and order—and an exploration of what it means to be a mother, it was the sort of book that I read in one sitting and wondered in passing when the movie or television series would be made. Three years later, Hulu trotted out Little Fires Everywhere, an eight-part limited series that attempts to capture the sprawling nature of the source material, but ultimately fails.
