The pitch may sound like a dare, but the series keeps finding its way back to something real. That bruised warmth, more than any of its quirks, is what gives this oddball dramedy its pulse.

You might think that a series with Elle Fanning as an unwed mother who turns to OnlyFans to work her way through college would not be a mile of smiles, but it most definitely is.

Its characters are memorable, sure, and their family relationships a bit unconventional. But this is a story firmly grounded in the real world, and all the more interesting for it.

“Margo’s Got Money Problems” can be terribly sentimental, almost corny — the climax is pure Hollywood — but undeniably effective.

No matter the wannabe-titillating nature of its upbeat tale or its multiple strengths (sturdy performances, bright aesthetics, big heart), Apple TV’s latest is a frustratingly rigged game.

I wasn't really sure what to expect. The trailer did not really sell me when I first watched it, but the cast was so strong I decided to check it out. I'm happy I did. The 3 episode premiere did a great job in developing its lead and cast of characters. It feels true yet still has an undertone of humor which real life tends to have in darker times. Elle Fanning does an incredible job as a young struggling mother and I'm excited to see how these characters are challenged in future episodes.

This review is through 3 episodes. I think it's decent. It looks good, it's shot well, acted fine, Fanning and Pfiefer are fine. It's all just fine. It picks up once Nick Offerman comes in but prior to that it's just a bit on the slow end with exposition that is somewhat obvious if you read what it's about. I'm not sure the first episode was entirely necessary. My major issue at this point is just with pacing - but maybe it works out as every episode has been better than the last and the cast works well.
