Margaret Qualley, Andie MacDowell, Anika Noni Rose, Margot Robbie and Molly Smith Metzler on how they made a show about poverty, welfare and domestic abuse that didn’t feel like a lecture
opens in darkness. A woman sneaks out of her bed as quietly as possible, so as not to wake her sleeping partner. She scoops her toddler daughter up from her bed, leaves the trailer she lives in and gets them both into her car, pulling away as her boyfriend starts banging on the car.

, it was important to tell the story of a young woman’s struggles to navigate poverty, the welfare system and single parenting without the show feeling like a civics lesson. There are moments of laugh-out-loud levity in, even as Alex lands in a home for victims of domestic violence. There’s Andie MacDowell as we’ve never seen her, as Alex’s eccentric, unstable mom who always prioritizes the men in her life above her daughter and granddaughter.
