About

"Advice columnist's wisdom masks her own unraveling life"

Adapted from Cheryl Strayed's real advice column, this Hulu limited series follows Clare, a struggling writer and mother whose life is quietly unraveling, as she reluctantly takes over an anonymous advice column called 'Dear Sugar.' Answering strangers' painful letters forces her to confront her own unresolved grief and family history. The show moves between present-day domestic friction and flashbacks to her rougher younger years, blending wry humor with raw emotional excavation. It's intimate, talky, and often unguarded rather than plot-driven, carried almost entirely by Kathryn Hahn's performance and the show's willingness to sit in discomfort.

Watch it for

Kathryn Hahn's raw, funny, unguarded performance as a woman dispensing wisdom she can't follow herself.

Maybe skip if

you want strong plotting rather than an emotional, flashback-heavy character study.
