It's a wonderful lie
Created by Dmitry Lipkin
On FX
A darkly comic family drama built on sustained deception, where the con is both the premise and the emotional core—a show about people trying to belong while living a lie.
A family of crooks assume the identity of an upper-middle-class suburban clan in the Deep South.
