Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” ends on a serene note, with a hospital bed in the middle of a horse pasture and a single spoken word: “love.”in the limited series, which is based on author Cheryl Strayed’s life and her time writing an advice column called “Dear Sugar.”

“Tiny Beautiful Things” concludes with Clare imagining her mother’s hospital bed in the pasture where Frankie had taken her kids many times to see a neighbor’s horses. The quiet, dream-like sequence allows Clare to live out the moment she never got –– at her mother’s side, reciprocating the final word Frankie could muster for her daughter: “love.”she doesn’t think it is among her best work.

“I remember kind of having to steady myself and fortify myself in the face of that kind of energy and love,” she says.about filming that scene with the “electric” Hahn, the bond she formed with Pidgeon, and why it wasn’t “Tiny Beautiful Things,” but rather Strayed’s celebrated memoir “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” that helped her get to know Frankie.

And speaking of working in television, I did it because I wanted to go to work and get to spend time with a character and a story, and other characters over some time. That’s what doing a limited series offers you. I knew I wasn’t quite yet ready to commit to a series again, like a legit traditional series that could be a multi-season job. I respect what that takes, and I know what it takes, and I knew I wasn’t ready yet.

The truth is, the biggest resource for understanding Frankie is the book “Wild,” which we weren’t making. But in that book, Cheryl writes so beautifully and in such a guttural way about her mother and her relationship with her mother and her memory of her mother and how the loss of her mother so early in life affected the rest of her life. I kind of used that as my bible, and sometimes that was difficult because, again, we weren’t making that story.

I left this job with such a severe and tremendous amount of affection and esteem for those kids. And I know that I’m calling them “kids,” and I wouldn’t call fully grown people in their 20s that word, but that’s who they are to me and for me. I could not and cannot sing their praises enough. I feel so lucky to have worked with them, and that I went through his job and this experience with Sarah. I hope she knows that.
