Mildred Pierce has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in Australia on Foxtel Now and HBO Max, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel. Kate Winslet leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.
Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Mildred Pierce earns every emotional beat it goes for. Mildred Pierce depicts an overprotective, self-sacrificing mother during the Great Depression who finds herself separated from her husband, opening a restaurant of her own and falling in love with a man, all the while trying to earn her spoiled, narcissistic daughter's love and respect. Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2011.
Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling and well-observed characters will be completely at home — if you loved Virgin River, this has a similar depth. The kind of television that makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
