Before we dive in on how this TV show is a masterclass on race, class and motherhood, let’s talk about how it came together. Based off the book by the same name by Celeste Ng, the TV adaptation stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington as two mothers who live in Shaker Heights, Ohio. The co-stars are also executive producers on the show, having a heavy hand in the choices made to adapt the book into a TV series. The first few episodes are a slow burn as we get introduced to the residents of Shaker Heights, but by the middle of episode three, you are completely hooked and it becomes difficult to stop watching. and you can’t fathom watching another season of “The Office,” take a look at “Little Fires Everywhere” on Hulu.

Kerry Washington gave out some pretty private information Thursday: her phone number. "I know [it] sounds insane," she said, in the minute-long video posted on Twitter. But posting your phone number to your 5 million+ Twitter followers? Really, really text me. We're not sure why she couldn't just send those "sneak peaks" out over Twitter.
