Kleine Feuer überall

Kerry Washington better be glad the rest of the cast is great especially the young lady playing her daughter. If it wasn't for them I dont think I could watch it. She overreacts every scene she is in. I do like the time period in the movie and the plot through episode 3 is great so far.

I am liking this tv show . Witherspoon as always exceptional even her husband whoever that guy is but Mia... i am sorry her acting is below par!!! Her expressions at times are just not making sense. Turns me off!

Awed by the performances of the actors who play the younger versions of the leads. The way they catch the expressions and nuances of Reese, Washington and Dewitt is just perfection.

The series is pretty good. Most of the actors are spot on, all the kids are wonderful. The writing is decent and direction impactful. They have really captured the 90s well. The only failing of the show is casting two terribly wrong actors for perhaps the most important characters as its with them the story moves forward. This is the worst of Kerry Washington and Huang Lu hasn't done justice to her role either. Kw seems to have perfected her trembling and making that one annoying af face in the mirror, and no matter what the situation, she pulls the same trick out.. every show, every character, no exceptions. She is deeply unlikable as Mia and so you just can't root for her character. The producers really did drop the ball with casting someone with such limited emotional range. If you can ignore her atrocious presence, the series itself is pretty decent. On the bright side, Lexie Underwood as pearl is pitch perfect. What a bright star!!

The book was phenomenal to read. But the show has been very painful to watch because Kerry Washington over acts harder than anything I have seen before. She is constantly emoting an "about to ugly cry" face. There is no need for her to be so overly emotional in each and every scene. Reese Witherspoon is the only worth watching.
