Little Fires Everywhere and a great family tragedy

Everyone who watched "Big Little Lies" on HBO must remember the role of Reese Witherspoon in this TV series. This time, this great actress has reprised the role of a typical American suburban mom, but her family is far from ideal ...

Little Fires Everywhere is a series based on the novel by Celest Ng. Reese Witherspoon, known for her literary interests, decided to produce this series for the Hulu platform. She also gave herself a leading role in this TV series which of course helped her to promote it.

Her character - Elena Richardson is a woman in her 40s, a mother of four teenagers. The woman seems to have everything - a fantastic husband, a beautiful home, a nice job, and children to be proud of. Her life is close to ideal. Unfortunately, as we all know, ideals do not exist.

Elena is a typical control freak and she can't communicate with her youngest daughter, the rebellious Isabelle. To be honest, their relation can be described as pathological.

The conflict between the mother and the daughter is getting worse when the mysterious artist Mia appears in the neighborhood.

Mia, played by Kerry Washington is a very interesting figure. As an independent artist, she leads a very strange lifestyle. She rents Elena's parents' house together with her daughter, Pearl. Mia's past is shrouded in mystery, the woman is not happy to talk about it. However, she soon becomes friends with Elena's youngest daughter.

As we can guess, Elena is not happy about it. Her character can be compared to the character of Bree Van de Kamp from "Desperate Housewives".

Elena is furious that her daughter hangs out with the "wrong" people. What's more, she feels that she is losing Isabelle and, of course, she blames Mia for that.

Mia doesn't like Elena either. Their characters are completely different, and besides, Elena clearly considers herself a higher-class citizen because she is a white American.

The series exposes the hypocrisy of many Americans who consider themselves tolerant people, but in fact, they are full of prejudices and hidden hatred towards people of a skin color other than white. This makes the series extremely up-to-date, even though it is set in the '90s

Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington make a great duo on screen. The new role allowed Witherspoon to prove once again that she is not just a comedian.

Little Fires Everywhere is a story about the power of motherhood, traumas, unfulfilled ambitions, prejudices, art. It is a psychological drama that will surely make everyone reflect a lot.

In Poland, all eight episodes of this fantastic series are available on Prime Video.

Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons... And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent! Source: m.imdb.com Actually, Michelle Dockery plays Letty, the main character of Good Behavior. Letty is a very complicated woman in her thirties. The series starts when she gets out of prison. She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out ...

The Flight Attendant and Kaley Cuoco in a brand-new role

For every fan of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco will stay Penny forever. However, time doesn't stand still. New TV series are released every day and every actor dreams of making his mark in film history with more than a role in a sitcom...  Cuoco was given an opportunity to change her image - and she took it. That's why we can all watch her playing the main role in a new HBO TV series: The Flight Attendant.  Source: en.martincid.com This production is an adaptation of the book of the same title written by Chris Bohjlian.  Cuoco plays the main character - Cassandra - an American flight attendant and a reckless alcoholic. Escaping from responsibilities, self-indulgence, and addiction – that's Cassie's whole life. As we can guess, that doesn't help her making good life choices.

Lupin: a great TV series for all Money Heist fans!

Everything has probably been written about  Money Heist. This is why, even though I am a huge fan of this series, I have never decided to write about it. It is very difficult to say something new about Money Heist. I'm pretty sure most of the fans of this TV series are still looking for new information about new seasons, curiosities from the set, or about the actors. Money Heist has become a global phenomenon, which shows that people really like this type of productions. And maybe that's why the French series Lupine is now a hit on Netflix. Source: m.imdb.com Lupine is the story of Assane (played by Omar Sy), an extremely intelligent thief. Even though his profession is definitely immoral, the hero gains our great sympathy.
