Little Birds (2020)
3/10
Begins artfully and promises sensuality, devolves into a Tarantino-esque mess. If only LITTLE BIRDS knew what it wanted to be.

In the first few episodes, LITTLE BIRDS is a feast for the eys and ears: the musical track is astonishing and the interiors look like classic Miami Beach hotels lit, populated and dressed with extravagant nostalgia.

Unfortunately, what looks like a journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening turns into commentary on privilege and abusive attitudes. But that still isn't where this six-parter is headed.

The last two episodes throw off the glorious glitz and sink into some strange mire of world politics and abuse of power... and frankly, it's a bore.

The two trailers I saw won't reach the audience who will appreciate the final episodes. The final episodes disgusted me, who was fascinated by the trailers and featurettes.

In a nutshell, this series was like being invited to an extravagant burlesque show, then watching bare knuckle fist fighters take over the stage.
