Julie Delpy’s buoyant new slice-of-life comedy series follows four women “on the verge” of something brand new, about to leap into the void and discover the next exciting chapter of their lives… at 50-ish! It’s about confronting that “cultural blind spot” of middle age — between child-bearing years and grand-motherhood, when society loses all interest in women — with honesty, intelligence and humor. Set in January and February of 2020, against the backdrop of the about-to-unfold Covid pandemic, the show is grounded in real-life events, which only highlights the fact that everything is changing for these smart, feisty women, both in their private lives and in the world all around them.
