Tiny Beautiful Things

Imperfectly perfect series. Life is messy, life is hard, life is made of choices. Life is pain, life is love.

It was so, so, so beautifully acted. Kathryn Hahn and Sarah Pidgeon blew my breath away, they deliver flawless and unforgetablle performances.

Also, they really nailed with it with the sountrack.

What a ride. A whole lot of feels after finishing this series in a binge row. It will stay in my mind for a long time.

I still am left with a bunch of questions but I almost don't care. Some moments were flat, but I almost don't care. I almost want a second season and I almost don't want it.

Cannot say enough about Kathryn Hahn. She is one of my favorite actresses from back when I first saw her on How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Amazing actress.

If you've lost your mom, this series might be tough emotionally. It was for me.

Merritt Wever's character made me want to be a better mother. She needs to be in more films! She was great in Nurse Jackie and fabulous in this.

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. It was thought provoking, heart wrenching, so many different emotions. It left me rethinking my own life and realizing I am not living my best life. Its difficult but if you want more only you can make it happen..

This is a must watch!

The script clearly focuses on the wrong things, so, instead of developing the characters along the series, it very quickly gives facts and stories left and right without going deep in any of them.

When trying to connect with so many different audiences at the same time (and pandering to many of them), the story got lost in the way and became secondary to the narrative. A real shame.

The main character is supposed to be 49 (we buy it) with a 16 year old daughter, but her younger version of looks like a teenager, but she's playing a 33 year old married woman in all those out of order flashbacks? So very, very confusing...

The writing! The poetry! The music! The art of the acting and mixing of it all together to a perfect musical pitch that carries you away with it and then, with that perfect pitch, rips your heart and make you weep.

This series hits all my buttons: losing my younger beloved, brilliant, kind brother to lung cancer as I view this; lost a mother too soon.

The major problems for me - and costing a star - was the age discrepancies. The Hahn character is supposed to be super young when she has Francis Rae, but the age makes the Hahn character 33 when she had her daughter. Also, to me, the mother seemed to die when she was terribly young. However, Frankie, the mother, was played brilliantly.

What I liked about this series was that while it a deep and dark, there's good comedy interwoven to keep us from getting to far in the pits. Well worth the watch!!

Hahn is a terrific actress, but she couldn't save this. This story had a lot of potential but the muddled narrative makes it difficult to keep up, relate to any of the characters or enjoy. Danny is the only character I liked, but in the end, I ended up feeling deceived by what he does in the last episode. The constant, constant flashbacks gave me a headache. It was difficult to keep up there as well.

Hahn has done another miniseries which is also unconventional, but you could so well relate to her character and the narrative. And I started watching this expecting the same. But it went nowhere near that. After a few episodes I had to skip by to get the gist.
