Based on Julia May Jonas’s acclaimed 2022 novel, the show promises a sharp mix of dark comedy and erotic tension that explores the boundaries of power and desire.

Weisz stars as a popular English professor at a small liberal arts college whose stable life begins to spiral.

The eight-episode series follows the psychological unravelling of a woman who is tired of playing by the rules.

The production features a powerhouse supporting cast. According to Netflix Life and TheWrap, the series is one of the most anticipated streaming debuts of the month. Fans of psychological dramas can expect all episodes to drop at once, making it the perfect weekend watch for those who enjoy academic intrigue and high-stakes obsession.
