![]() ![]() ![]() She’s drunk, hated by her daughter, and crashing on an empty bed at her day job in a nursing home after being kicked out by her husband. That’s where we meet her.Ĭlare is a walking disaster. Clare, however, is right in the middle of it. The Strayed that wrote Dear Sugar was many years on the other side of the painful mess that had been her life. However, at some point, their lives veered in a wildly different direction. At first, her background and traumas pull inspiration from Strayed’s life. Instead, Kathryn Hahn plays Clare Pierce. The main difference is this adaptation is not actually about Strayed. Merritt Wever and Sarah Pidgeon have a case of the leaps (Elizabeth Morris/Hulu) The answer, interestingly, is both yes and no. That may lead you to wonder if the show will simply be a retread of the film. Strayed’s other book, Wild, adapted by Reese Witherspoon into the Academy Award-nominated film in 2014, is her popular memoir about her mother’s death and her hike along the Pacific Crest Trail. That means I’m carrying a certain degree of baggage to Hulu’s newest series, Tiny Beautiful Things, based on the book of the same name– a collection of Dear Sugar’s best advice columns)–and Sugar herself, Cheryl Strayed, who stepped forward as the columnist in 2012. If you belonged to a certain group of very online Millennials around 2011, then the chances that a Dear Sugar letter changed your life or permanently lodged itself in your brain are high. ![]()
