Winter Watchlist Warmers - Tiny Beautiful Things - Miniseries

After travelling to the USA I realised our Disney+ offering is a pile better than the USA version. With ours including Hulu titles like, Tiny Beautiful Things.

The miniseries premiered on Hulu back in early April. So I am playing catch up here.

Based on the 2012 book of the same name by Cheryl Strayed. Tiny Beautiful Things has been adapted by Liz Tigelaar and produced by Best Day Ever Productions, Jaywalker Pictures, Hello Sunshine, and ABC Signature. 

The show has since received two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Kathryn Hahn as lead Clare Pierce. While Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie) as Frankie Pierce, Clare's late mother was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

The eight half and hour episodes tell the story of Clare (Hahn), a writer who reluctantly becomes a popular advice columnist during a period of turmoil in her life.

Cheryl Strayed had discussed adapting her book of essays Tiny Beautiful Things with Laura Dern & Reese Witherspoon while they worked together making the 2014 film Wild. This was also adapted from Strayed's memoir.

Liz Tigelaar serves as series creator and writer on the project which is being produced by ABC Signature and Hello Sunshine. 

Tigelaar is also executive producer, alongside Witherspoon, Dern, Lauren Neustadter, Stacey Silverman, Jayme Lemons, Cheryl Strayed, and Kathryn Hahn. Tigelaar described the show as depicting an alternate version of Strayed "that hadn't hiked the Pacific Crest Trail" in Wild.

So with this superstar group behind the series it goes without saying. This was a great watch. A hidden gem on Disney+ worth checking out.

Now I have seen Disney's offering overseas, we are super lucky here to get all the quality Hulu content like Only Murders in the Building, Life & Beth, Love, Victor and more.

More titles to come in my Winter Watchlist Warmers series as Spring is just around the corner. How warm has this winter been?
