The 10-part comedy drama follows Maxine Simmons, played by Kristen Wiig, as she does everything in her power to break into Palm Beach high society.
As it opens to cool Mad Men-style titles, Maxine explains: “All I ever wanted was to belong, to be a somebody in this world.
“But there’s a catch when a woman wants to be a somebody, and that catch is everyone else.”
Set in Palm Beach in 1969, it’s the beginning of the season, when the wealthiest come to mix and mingle. The cast is one star after another: Allison Janney, Laura Dern, Leslie Bibb, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas and Amber Chardae Robinson to name a few.
We’re introduced to the ladies who rule the roost at the Palm Royale – the most exclusive club in the area. From an ambassador’s wife to a sugar heiress, they are all super-rich and super-mean. Maxine is first spotted trying to scale the wall to get in.
Finally inside and sipping a cocktail, she tries to join in the conversation of the queen bees, until she’s caught and turfed out.
But her positivity is relentless and Maxine will not be deterred.
As she tries to cross that line between the haves and have-nots, how much is this outsider willing to sacrifice to get what she wants?
Action-packed with secrets, backstabbing and witty put-downs, not to mention stunning sets and costumes, this is hedonistic viewing.
