Margo's Got Money Troubles

Creative, hilarious, dramatic, wild, edgy, moving—you can experience all of that from one episode to the next. Outstanding performances from the entire cast. It’s a show to watch without inhibition, letting yourself get swept up in this great production.

Elle Fanning plays a college student who finds herself single and pregnant, so she turns to OnlyFans to make a living. Meanwhile, she gets some moral support from her Hooters-waitress mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) and retired-wrestler father (Nick Offerman). This series is created by TV stalwart David E. Kelly (“L.A. Law,” “Ally McBeal,” “The Practice” & “Big Little Lies”) and he’s called upon his wife, Pfeiffer, to be in one of his shows for the first time. Her conflicted mother is sassy, funny and sad, possibly her best performance ever. She’s matched by an equally brilliant ensemble, include Fanning’s determined center and Offerman’s touching portrayal. Toss is a full cast of prime actors creating great unconventional characters, including Greg Kinnear as the religious hubby, Nicole Kidman as a fellow wrestler and Marcia Gay Harden as the haughty mother-in-law. Then there’s the baby (played by 2 infants) who’s charming in every scene. Kelly has penned scripts that keep the show involving and continually grab the emotions, while stretching the story’s boundaries. This oddball drama (with a bit of comedy) is not only one of Apple’s best series, it’s one of the most compelling and entertaining shows of the year.
