A slightly repressed 40 year old English teacher turns to lying and deception to get her former pupil's play produced, not to mention shagging him on her desk, which ultimately gets her the sack. It turns out he's not being entirely honest with her too, which is all good stuff, and the plot isn't predictable. The writers are husband and wife Dan and Stacy Chariton.
A watchable cast: Julianne Moore, Nathan Lane, Michael Angarano (This is Us, Will and Grace, The Knick), Greg Kinnear, Lily Collins, Norbert Leo Butz, Jessica Hecht, Sophie Lane Curtis. As I believe I have mentioned before, I like the way the characters disobey the narrator (Fiona Shaw) at the end.
The music is a bit grating.
