Abby Ryder Fortson - "Margaret"
"I think the thing that really drew me to the project was the feeling that we can all connect to the story of Margaret. We are all going through that time in our lives when we're figuring things out and trying to build the pieces of ourselves together.
That's what I really connected with, and as soon as I read it. I knew that this was the kind of project that I wanted to be a part of."
Kelly Fremon Craig - Director & Julie Ansell - Producer
"Abby, who plays Margaret is just...she's a revelation. She's gonna be a star. The kid is so good. Rachel McAdams is just incredible. Kathy Bates...I think this is maybe the funniest thing she's ever done."
Rachel McAdams - "Barbara Simon"
"It's such an iconic book. She has a lot of guilt of not being a stay-at home mom...especially in the 70s...she is sort of putting her art on the side so that she can be the perfect mom. She's grappling with a little bit of an identity crisis."

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania. In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach. The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery? It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case.

The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama (Utopia),
The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world. I don't think anyone can dislike him. Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer). He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney). Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community. Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone? The series is quite amusing. Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps Calvin in line. Some of

How I Met Your Father Bays Thomas Productions/The Walk-Up Company/20th Television Disney Platform Distribution Hulu #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) In How I Met Your Father on Hulu , future Sophie (Kim Cattrall in 2050) is telling her son the story of how she met his father. It all started in 2021 Sophie played by Hilary Duff and her friends are trying to figure out love and life.
