Little Fires Everywhere

I am enjoying this so far (3 episodes in). Many twists and turns.

Little Fires Everywhere follows "the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster." Set in Shaker Heights, Ohio in the 1990s.

It is worth reading about it as detailed by the author and producers. The supporting character of the artist was cast as black, although not originally written as such.
