Diving into smug liberalism and nit-picking motherhood, Witherspoon embodies the role perfectly as she unravels the layers of a controlling mother. STAR OF THE SHOW: Reese Witherspoon takes inspiration from her character Madeline in Big Little Lies, while playing the picture-perfect Stepford wife in a placid progressive suburb. Set in the real town of Shaker Heights, we are thrown back in time to the 1990s with The Real World being on TV and classic cassette tapes abound. WHERE: If small picturesque towns have taught us anything, it’s to look very closely because there is more than meets the eye between those white picket fences. The series opens with Elena watching her stunning big house burn to the ground and leaving us with the question: who would do such a thing to the innocent Richardsons? After relegating her career as a journalist to be a good mother to her four teenage children, Lexie, Trip, Moody and Izzy, Elena’s world is rocked when the enigmatic Mia (Kerry Washington) and her daughter Pearl move to town under great suspicion. WHAT: Set in the picture-perfect town Shaker Heights, Ohio, Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon) is the all-American mom married to Bill (Joshua Jackson) with little to no worries. The thought-provoking drama explores a range of themes such as racism, motherhood and how the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…
Based on the 2017 best-selling Celeste Ng novel, Scandal’s Kerry Washington and Big Little Lies’s Reese Witherspoon co-produce and star in this highly addictive mini-series – following the intertwined lives of two mothers in a squeaky clean American neighbourhood.
