AudienceAudience: 7.0

Spanning decades in the early 20th-century South, this musical drama follows a woman facing hardship and separation from loved ones as she seeks independence. Through the support of other women and the strength of sisterhood, she begins to find hope and a life on her own terms.

My take

You may enjoy this if you’re drawn to emotional stories of resilience, strong ensemble performances, and soulful musical numbers; Not for you if you prefer grounded dramas without songs or a lighter subject.
