Tales of the City
Created by Lauren Morelli
On Netflix
A tender, reflective homecoming that weaves together decades of chosen family, regret, and queer joy in a San Francisco apartment building.
Mary Ann returns to present-day San Francisco and is reunited with her daughter and ex-husband, twenty years after leaving them behind to pursue her career. Fleeing the midlife crisis that her picture-perfect Connecticut life created, Mary Ann is quickly drawn back into the orbit of Anna Madrigal, her chosen family and a new generation of queer young residents living at 28 Barbary Lane.
