Plot: Follows a woman who reluctantly becomes Dear Sugar; an anonymous and revered advice columnist, even when her own life is falling apart.
This miniseries was half Bad and Half Good.
Pros: I only like both Kathryn Hahn & Sarah Pidgeon acting as the oldest and youngest versions of Clare.
Cons: The story was hard to get invested in for me. Clare was a little too whiny. There’s not a lot of comedy to be had there and the ending felt like a waste of time.
