Tell me a bit about the series...
This new Netflix series is a remake of the famous 1993 Tales of the City series, which was applauded for its portrayal of gay and trans issues. This updated version deserves the same. It sees one of the original characters from the show, Mary Ann Singleton (Laura Linney), return to the queer haven that is Barbary Lane in San Francisco, where she is confronted with the dramas of her past. There, she comes face-to-face with her ex-husband, Brian Hawkins, and their daughter Shawna, who she abandoned in lieu of a career on the east coast.
The series also stars Ellen Page (Juno, Inception), Thomas Gibson (Criminal Minds, Eyes Wide Shut) and Olympia Dukakis (Working Girl, Steel Magnolias), as well as trans actors Garcia, Jen Richards and Daniela Vega.

American Women on Stan. Alicia Silverstone and Mena Suvari star. It’s set in the 70’s, and has a great storyline of a newly found single mother of two, who is being empowered by the rise of Second wave feminism. Loving the clothes, hair and women, and storyline. Nice short episodes too for easy viewing.☺️
