What evolves is a workplace comedy of an unusually sweet and emotional nature, as trust is gained, friendships are formed and better ways to live are learned. A multibillionaire after a divorce from tech mogul husband (Adam Scott), Rudolph’s Molly recovers from 20 pampered years of meaningless self-indulgence by getting involved with a charitable foundation that bears her name - much to the annoyance of the perhaps too intensely focused Sofia (Michaela Jaé Rodriguez,) who runs it.

(hence those dreamy “Dawson’s Creek” vibes), the series expands and updates the world of the book trilogy, weaving intoxicating strands of adolescent longing, joy and first love within an intergenerational story that packs its own emotional gut punches. On the cusp of 16, Belly (newcomer Lola Tung) is blossoming into a young woman as she arrives with her mom and brother to their annual stay with family friends in fictional Cousins Beach, for the summer that will change everything - most of all her friendships with the flirty Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and his older brother Conrad (Christopher Briney), whom she’s loved her whole life.įilmed in coastal Wilmington, N.C.

Can a few notes from a perfect song transport you to a longing glance, an Earth-shaking kiss, the first time your heart skipped a beat or the worst it was ever broken?
