What to Know

Critics Consensus

Little Birds' sumptuous style draws the eye like a peacock's plumage, but its aimless story keeps it from truly taking flight.

Little Birds is a series that honours them and their spirit, adding even more to them and making them resonate anew. Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 08/20/2020
With big, knowingly written female characters to the fore, it's an exotic trip. Go to Full Review
Dominic Maxwell The Times (UK) 08/13/2020
The acting is strong, but you've got a lot of time to take it in -- and the scenery, and the camerawork, and the bursts of period-friendly Peggy Lee tunes in the soundtrack -- when the characters spent so long doing so terribly, terribly little. Go to Full Review

4/5
A perverse and unusual book of literary erotica becomes a surreal and fetching narrative in this visually sumptuous and singular series. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Little Birds is a visual feast for the eyes, and time will tell if the story lives up to its sensual aesthetic. But, it is definitely starting out strong. Go to Full Review

Chris M @RT21954632 10/18/2022 A series of unconnected events happen near Casablanca. That's the closest to a plot that I can figure out. This is not a series, it's abstract avant-garde "art". As a bunch of stuff just happens, apparently the story is not the business of the viewing audience. As we have no clue what is happening. I've seen porn with clearer plots. Speaking of which the IMDb mentions this is based on a series of erotic short stories. In my opinion, it's not erotic and the story part must have been very short as nothing happens. It might have worked if it was like 20 minutes each episode but 45 minutes? This is nothing but fetish fuel. But it falls flat in the sex department. It's explicit in all the wrong ways and tame all the wrong ways. The little characterization we get is just Starz all unlikable asshole trope.
