Review: 'Little Fires Everywhere' pits Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington against each other in a diverting but broad suburban melodrama.
Producers/stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington reshaped Celeste Ng’s bestselling novel for TV. But she’s not feeling possessive.
Shaker Heights’ community ethos — that “everything should be planned out, and that by doing so you could avoid the unseemly, the unpleasant and the disastrous” — is rocked to its core when the moms eventually clash over the parental rights of Mia’s co-worker at her second job in a Chinese restaurant, Bebe Chow , a poor immigrant from China who’s in search of her abandoned child.
Lexi Underwood, left, as Pearl Warren, and Gavin Lewis as Moody Richardson in “Little Fires Everywhere,” a miniseries elevated by the teenage members of its ensemble. Adapted for television by Liz Tigelaar, “Little Fires Everywhere” is reportedly faithful to the spirit of the book — co-producer Ng consulted on the scripts for the hour-long episodes — but heightens the importance of race in the narrative, particularly regarding Mia, whose race isn’t marked in the novel.
