Little Birds (2020)
This show is an interesting take on a woman marrying for wealth
I found this series to be an interesting study in the subject of a woman, in this case a woman from a fairly wealthy family, moving to foreign country for a wealthy suitor. On the surface this would sound like a boring topic that has been done so many times before. First, I want to congratulate Ed Rutherford on Cinematographic work of art. The cinema-photography of this series is wonderful and makes is it a joy to watch. Ed Rutherford is clearly a genius and was allowed to express himself in this piece. I cannot say enough about this, this work is something that Stanley Kubrick would be proud of. I only hope Ed Rutherford will be given artistic control and the freedom to express himself in future projects.
The story is based on original source material of short stories by Anais Nin, a female French-Cuban novelist who wrote the collection of stories this series is based on in the 1970's, and is erotic, titillating and seductive without being vulgar. I would say there is a strong theme here of female empowerment. Some may find the story and the script a little disjointed or wandering. I found the story to work well with the location and the artistic presentation. The location is Tangier, Morocco which at the time was undergoing a political upheaval as it was a French colony that was fighting for independence. Morocco's fight for independence in the film serves as a metaphor for the oppressed women in the story fighting to assert themselves and finally gaining their freedom.
This is a wonderful series that introduced me to Ed Rutherford's cinematography and Anais Nin's writing, both of which I intend to enjoy for a long time.

This show is hysterical, we loved it!
This show was created, written and produced by Nasim Pedrad who also plays the main character. A woman playing a pubescent boy who is just coming of age is a whole new take on the genre and my wife and I both found this to be very funny. We are really looking forward to the next episode.
