Olive Kitteridge
Drama60 min per episode
In a small Maine town, schoolteacher Olive Kitteridge moves through years of family strain, private grief, and uneasy everyday encounters that expose how hard she is on other people and on herself. Her marriage to the steady, patient Henry holds, but not without bruising silences and disappointments that gather over time. As their son grows up and pulls away, ordinary moments at home turn into lasting wounds. Around Olive, neighbors struggle with loneliness, depression, and marriages under pressure, and their crises keep colliding with her blunt, often isolating way of meeting the world. Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins anchor a story that follows one woman’s life in fragments, showing how damage and tenderness can sit side by side.
