Olive Kitteridge

The four-part HBO drama OLIVE KITTERIDGE tells the poignantly sweet, acerbically funny, and devastatingly tragic story of a seemingly placid New England town wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, told through the lens of Olive (Frances McDormand), whose wicked wit and harsh demeanor mask a warm but troubled heart and staunch moral center. The story, which spans 25 years, focuses on Olive, a middle-school math teacher, and her relationships with her husband Henry (Richard Jenkins), the good-hearted town pharmacist, their son Christopher, who chafes at his mother's parenting style, and other denizens of their community.
