Plot: Laura’s picture-perfect life starts to unravel when her son brings home a new girlfriend named Cherry; she becomes convinced that Cherry is a manipulative social climber — or is she just being paranoid?
This series was great.
Pros: The two actresses Robin Wright & Olivia Cooke did a spot on job playing two ladies fighting over a man. And seeing the focus set between these two throughout. It does a very good job keeping us guessing who the true villain was & the ending was not what I was expecting.
Cons: This show didn’t delving into cherry’s past that much & the final past moments left questions but not answers.
