Any watchers? I binge-watched over two nights and loved it. I read the book a couple of years ago and, as far as I remember, the tv show is pretty faithful to the Celeste Ng’s novel. Reese Witherspoon is superb as Elena Richardson, one of the main protagonists and the mother from hell and the other characters are portrayed wonderfully too.

Just watched it all after reading the comments on here. Couldn't fault it at all. Acting from all sides was believable, Reese Witherspoon was perfect as the controlling mother.

Just finished and wow! Never read the book so didn't know what to expect but thought it was amazing. Had changing feelings for all the characters through out. When Mia said Elena didn't make good choices, she had good choices wow. Loved it

The casting was superb. Kerry Washington always seems to convey palpable, raw emotion and Reese Witherspoon makes the perfect uptight WASP. 🔥🔥🔥

So pleased that Pacey got another acting gig, too! 😂

It’s basically a drama about two families, but the focus is on the mothers and their different ways of coping/parenting. Themes of race and privilege in it too. It’s really gripping.

I'm OBSESSED.

Funny that you described Elena as the mother from hell. I had a mother more like Mia (made us live a very unstable and nomadic life, relied on us for emotional support, put her needs ahead of everyone else's wellbeing etc) and would have done anything to be able to swap families.

I have finished watching all episodes now. Really enjoyed it. I think there will be a season 2. I just watched The Affair recently. I was very pleased to see Joshua Jackson in this :love:
