"A boardinghouse family redefining love and belonging"
Adapted from Armistead Maupin's novels, this miniseries follows newcomer Mary Ann Singleton as she moves into a San Francisco boardinghouse run by the enigmatic Anna Madrigal in the late 1970s.

The tone is warm, soapy, and unabashedly sentimental, moving briskly across its short run. It carries real historical weight given its frank treatment of sexuality for its time, but mostly it feels like eavesdropping on a beloved, gossipy circle of friends.
