Fans tuning into Little Disasters might be thrown off by the amount of changes from book to screen - starting with that ending. Based on Sarah Vaughan's novel of the same name, Little Disasters, which premiered on Paramount+ on Thursday, December 11, followed an accident and emergency doctor treating an unexplained head injury on the child of one of her best friends. She then had to face the dilemma of whether to make a report to child social services. The six-part series made it seem as if Jess (Diane Kruger) could have something to do with her daughter getting injured.
