My Brilliant Career
Created by Liz Doran
On Netflix
A period drama centered on a young woman's defiant assertion of autonomy and self-determination against the constraints of early 20th-century expectations.
Restless, razor-sharp and refusing to conform, 17-year-old Sybylla Melvyn is dead set on writing her own story in an era that expects her to find a man and settle down.
