What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tiny Pretty Things has some solid moves, but an over-reliance on empty scandal over emotional substance make for unsatisfying viewing.

I feel like I might both love and hate Tiny Pretty Things, which makes me feel a lot like its characters, who destroy their best friends one minute and then hold them close the next. Go to Full Review

It was refreshing to see a media depiction of eating disorders that didn't center a white woman; this series focuses on the struggles of a male dancer. Go to Full Review

You have to either give credit to actors who can dance like this or dancers who can act like this. Go to Full Review

3.4/5
The show is quite content with exploring the surface-level issue without breaking down the motivations of why it's happening or others' reactions. This lack didn't do the characters or plots any justice. Go to Full Review
Mae Abdulbaki Pajiba 12/29/2020
It's pretty bad, but the series is made even worse by the fact that it doesn't bother to analyze exactly what's wrong with such behavior and offers no scathing commentary or criticism of its characters' actions. Go to Full Review

Tiana I Apr 11 The plot was decent and I think I would have enjoyed more if they weren’t unnnecessary sex scenes every 10 minutes. This honestly spoilt the series for that I didn’t even watch it completely See more franka i 07/17/2024 Very good plot. Didn’t know who commited the crime till the very end. But every 5 minutes someone is having random sex. There is a lot of sex in this show. See more Ionela C 04/20/2024 Garbage. Don't watch it. Is a waste of time See more 08/08/2022 I've never seen a show with more unlikeable characters or where relationships are rendered so meaningless because all the characters are playing musical chairs but with hookups other than the og Gossip Girl. But at least for Gossip Girl, you weren't bored because the characters were actually interesting, even if they were assholes. See more 03/27/2022 Dark drama for the sake of shock, yet ends up flat and predictable with no substance See more 10/11/2021 I have a lot of things to say about this show. Disclaimer: i did not read the book and im not going to. Spoilers ahead. The good: - the dancing - Beth's characterization The bad: - the acting is a little wanky, especially sex scenes -too much ass The frustrating: -Neaveh's characterization. No development at all. She is the supposed main character who becomes a side character so quickly. Quick to be put into relationships with no development. Pushes other characters' storylines instead of hers. Writers made her the stereotypical black girl. She visits Kasey at the hospital, despite not knowing this girl at all. Just bad writing all around -Oren- forgotten/unaddressed storylines. Gets raped/has bulimia but never addressed. No chemistry with Naeveh. -Nivil (idk his name)- french accent is a little sus -Shane- rapes Oren but the show does not see it as rape but more as a FWB - the cop- i found her annoying. The show tries to convince us that she's a good person but she is such a huge interference. The show should have made her more of an antagonist instead of someone to root for -Adults treating highschoolers like adults- adults are constantly giving students alcohol during public events. Shane gets into a relationship with an adult and everyone is ok with that. Villain ballet coach being inappropriate with students. Just make the cast college age or adults instead -small plot holes- Who put Naeveh's tiny dancer in Jun's things? What happened to the serial rapist? If there is a season 2, do better.
