On the homefront, she’s got issues with Danny and her daughter Frankie (Tanzyn Crawford), named after Clare’s mother ( Merritt Wever)-though Clare’s daughter now prefers going by “Rae” because it’s a slight jab at her mother. In the present-day storyline, Clare struggles with her home and work life. While the series spotlights some of the very best advice columns from Dear Sugar-life-changing essays like “The Ghost Ship That Didn’t Carry Us” and, naturally, the original “Tiny Beautiful Things”-it manages to build a stronger story by focusing on Strayed herself, from the death of her mother in flashbacks to her becoming Sugar in the present day. While the book collects snippets of advice Strayed wrote between 2010-2012 as the columnist “Sugar,” published in the Rumpus’ advice column, the TV series is reminiscent of Strayed’s life and the book’s 2016 play adaptation starring Nia Vardalos as well. Tiny Beautiful Things, all eight episodes of which will debut on Hulu April 7, is an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s beloved non-fiction book of the same name. Though it goes much deeper than deliberating on fast food chains-like divorce, death, and life’s many woes- Tiny Beautiful Things treats each dilemma with the same earnestness, never rendering a single impasse as something black and white. Suggest Popeyes, McDonald’s, and KFC all you want nothing will top the unfettered deliciousness of a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. Though she’s right that Chick-fil-A is a harrowing business run by the allegedly racist, homophobic Dan Cathy-I, myself, never opt to dine there, though I’ll go along with others if they insist-it’s hard to deny how delectable those damn sandwiches and fries are. “Look, it’s all this crap that’s going to floating on the planet forever, wedged into the nostril of some innocent turtle.”Ĭlare takes another bite. But it isn’t just their homophobia,” Clare says, then showing off piles of trash to Danny.
“They are horrible to gay people-queer people, sorry. But Clare is upset with herself for ordering from such a rancid corporation, grappling with her embarrassment as she shoves more bites of juicy chicken into her mouth.
She’s already chomping on a greasy fried chicken sandwich, lathered in honey mustard sauce and paired with crisp waffle fries, so perhaps the decision has already been made. Tiny Beautiful Things begins with one of the biggest life dilemmas of our modern age: Is it okay to eat Chick-fil-A? Or should we all avoid the fast food restaurant like the plague?Ī drunken Clare Pierce ( Kathryn Hahn) debates this with herself, as she rides in the passenger seat of her husband Danny’s (Quentin Plair) car.
