## Synopsis

Little America (2020-2022) is a United States anthology comedy drama created by Lee Eisenberg for Apple TV. Across two seasons of eight half-hour episodes each, the series follows a rotating cast of immigrants building new lives in American cities, with each installment centering on a different character and a self-contained story. Their engines are concrete and personal: a job to keep, a relationship to pursue, a family obligation to balance against an ambition, and the daily friction of language, paperwork and cultural expectation. Episodes move between comedic and romantic beats and quieter, sincere moments, so the tone stays warm, hopeful and occasionally surprising. Its emotional register is generous and humane, celebrating ordinary perseverance rather than spectacle. Because each story stands on its own, the series rewards viewers who want a satisfying hour without serialized commitment. Fans of Master of None, Easy and Atlanta will find similar pleasures in its mix of humor, observation and heart. The show was canceled after its second season, leaving its anthology format without a final closing arc.
