LITTLE DISASTERS focuses on a decade-long friendship among Jess, Liz, Charlotte, and Mel, four expectant mothers who were thrown together with little in common apart from their due dates but have been there for one another throughout motherhood. When perfect stay-at-home mother Jess takes her baby daughter to hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty ER doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services. With one phone call, Liz sets in motion a chain of events that ripples, fractures and nearly destroys not only their families but their entire friendship group.

Director Eva Sigurðardóttir keeps everything tightly wound and hands this impressive cast. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Dec 12
If recent domestic thrillers have exhausted the topic of the impossible expectations facing mothers, the group dynamic brings new complexity to this one. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Dec 12

3/5
This complicated, slow-burning drama reaches for the addictively soapy heights of shows like Big Little Lies or Sharp Objects, but lacks the narrative meat needed to get there. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Dec 13
We liked the exploration of this unlikely friendship between a medical skeptic and a doctor, and how their differences end up threatening one of their families. Go to Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Dec 12
The latest of what is an increasingly cookie-cutter subgenre that boasts all the trappings of prestigious literary adaptations without the earned prestige. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Donna M @DonnaM Feb 17 I enjoyed the entire series. It was well acted and written. Very well paced, believable and engaging such that I binge watched all 6 episodes in one day. It was nice to have a mystery thriller that did not include murder and sex. Highly recommend.
