It’s about Julia Ormond, total hottie, from the Sabrina remake, Legends of the Fall, First Knight, and if y’all recall, her character turned out to be bi in Witches of East End, as a recently divorced older woman and Ben Barnes, who I guess played Prince Caspian in the Narnia movies, as the younger guy into her. Her adult kids (who are all still younger than him!) are immediately suspicious of him and think he’s a gold digger. That’s the plot.
The show is written by the lady who wrote that miniseries, Thirteen, where Jodie Comer plays that girl who’s just escaped from having been abducted for 13 years? It’s one of those soapy thrillers, each ep you discover new things and distrust a new person, there’s a secret that hangs over the family but you also have the mystery of whether or not the guy is really a gold digger. A bit of a spoiler, but it’s a surprisingly positive ending all around, take that as you will.
And yeah, Jemima used to be in a fair number of things from a pretty young age. I guess she’s taken a break here and there, looking at her IMDB. Been pretty busy lately again, so that’s nice, and returning to her Hex roots! She does play the wlw daughter here, who mostly is on her mom’s side, but is easily swayed by her brothers. Each ep of the series focuses on a different person, although with a large chunk of time spent on the Julia Ormond and Ben Barnes characters (whose names are Julia and Benjamin for some reason), so the first ep is on Julia’s oldest son, the second is on Jemima’s character, and so on.
