She plays a newly divorced mom named Paula who is trying to pull her life together. Amidst a custody battle with her ex-husband and experiencing her own identity crisis, she is convinced she witnessed a violent crime. When the authorities are unwilling to help, she investigates on her own and soon finds herself involved in a greater conspiracy.
The first two episodes of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed drop Wednesday, May 20, on Apple TV+.
Retiring with Monsters
The Duffer Brothers created a hit following a young group of teens from a small midwestern town who investigate strange happenings in their community. In The Boroughs, which is executive produced by the brothers, the protagonists are senior citizens instead and live in a New Mexico retirement community.
The Boroughs’ newest resident, Sam Cooper (Alfred Molina), has a monstrous encounter late one evening. Not wanting to be dismissed as a senile old man, Sam turns to his neighbors to help him uncover the dark secret behind the normally picturesque and peaceful community.
Watch the entire first season of The Boroughs beginning Thursday, May 21, on Netflix.
