What unifies the chapters, other than that they are about women in a variety of circumstances, is that they are satisfyingly, pleasantly weird.
has led its promotion with its cast: Episodes are led by Cynthia Erivo, Nicole Kidman, Issa Rae, Merrittten years ago), Meera Syal, and veterans Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin – working again with creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, who adapted the series from Cecelia Ahern's book of stories.
