Based on the novel by the same name by Maria Semple, Where'd Ya Go, Bernadette? is a quirky dramedy. Cate Blanchett stars as the main character. She plays a mom who has cocooned her family in a house literally falling down around them, as she avoids people, places and things. Of course, we don't know why at the beginning of the story, but it gets juicy as it goes on. Billy Crudup, Emma Nelson and Kristen Wiig also star. It was good!
I watched The Chaperone on Masterpiece on PBS. It's loosely based on the life of Louise Brooks, who was a famous movie star in the 1920s. Elizabeth McGovern plays the chaperone hired by Brooks' mother to accompany her 15-year-old daughter to NYC to study dance. Haley Lu Richardson plays Brooks. Blythe Danner also stars. I enjoyed the show.
In other news, I've caught up with (binge-watched) the following shows. I recommend all of them:
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Amazon
Grace and Frankie -Amazon Prime
Little Fires Everywhere - Hulu
Shrill - Hulu
Why Women Kill - CBS All Access
