Lessons in Chemistry
Life rarely follows a formula.
Created by Lee Eisenberg
On Apple TV
A warm, purposeful period drama about a woman scientist who subverts 1950s domesticity through a cooking show, balancing feminist conviction with genuine affection for her unlikely platform.
In the 1950s, Elizabeth Zott's dream of being a scientist is challenged by a society that says women belong in the domestic sphere. She accepts a job on a TV cooking show and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives way more than recipes.
