‘Tiny Beautiful Things’ Hulu Series Review - A Tender Ode to Life’s Messiness

Have you ever experienced grief? Have you ever felt lost, alone, or uncertain about the future? If so, then Tiny Beautiful Things is a series that will resonate with you on a deep and emotional level.

From the moment you press play, the show draws you in with its beautiful storytelling and heartfelt performances. You'll find yourself engrossed in the lives of the characters, feeling their pain and their joy as they navigate life's ups and downs.

The series is based on the advice columns of author Cheryl Strayed, who wrote under the pseudonym Sugar. At the center of the show is Kathryn Hahn's portrayal of Clare, who is asked to take over the column when the previous writer steps down. Initially reluctant, Clare is encouraged by a friend to take on the role, and she quickly finds herself inundated with letters from people seeking advice on everything from relationships to work to family issues.

Through the course of the series, we see Clare's own struggles as she tries to balance her work with her personal life. She works in an assisted living facility to pay the bills and is still reeling from her mother's death. Her marriage is rocky, and she is unsure how to fix it. Despite her own problems, Clare is determined to help others and uses her own experiences to offer advice and support.

The show explores themes of grief, loss, relationships, and everyday life lessons while delivering comfort, wisdom, and cathartic cries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to move and inspire.

Throughout the series, the show's sensitivity to detail and specific brand of empathy is evident in every aspect of its production. The acting, direction, and writing in Tiny Beautiful Things are all simply outstanding. Kathryn Hahn brings Clare to life with such rawness and authenticity that it feels like she's speaking directly to you. And the supporting cast is just as remarkable, each character leaving their own emotional imprint on your heart.

The direction is thoughtful, allowing the actors' performances to shine while also making sure to hit all the right emotional notes. And the writing? Superb. It seamlessly blends heart-wrenching moments with moments of levity and joy, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the beauty in everyday life.

But what makes Tiny Beautiful Things truly special is its ability to find hope and humor in even the darkest of situations. The show reminds us that even when life seems bleak, there is always a glimmer of light that can help us see our way through.

Despite its many strengths, Tiny Beautiful Things does have one flaw - there is some confusion with the timeline. While the show does eventually clarify the order of events, it can be a bit disorienting at first. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent series.

It is unfortunate that the renewal status of Tiny Beautiful Things has not been announced by Hulu yet, and it's been described as a one-off miniseries, making it unlikely that the show will return for a second season. However, this makes the series all the more special, as it reminds us to cherish and savor the moments we have.

So if you're looking for a series that will touch your heart and soul, that will make you laugh and cry, and that will remind you of the power of hope and human connection, then look no further than Tiny Beautiful Things.

It may not be the easiest show to watch, but it is certainly one of the most rewarding. And if you've ever experienced grief, loss, or uncertainty, then this series is sure to hit you right in the heartstrings.
