Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott, whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes.

Wenlei Ma PerthNow A solid, prestige drama with a fantastic central performance. Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) One big advantage is that it’s extremely and expensively beautiful in a Mad Men sort of way. Another is Larsen, who can always own a screen, even when her character notes seem to be mainly “she frowns a lot”. Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Ultimately everything feels just a little bit too polished. That’s not a bad thing, but it won’t rock your world: it’s a tasty enough treat, but unlike Elizabeth’s cooking, it’s a little underdone. Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Imagine you crossed Mad Men with a Julia Child series and you have something of the flavour of this series. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Will Slater Scotsman Realistic and edgy? Nope. Entertaining and touching? Yes. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Enter the world of “Lessons in Chemistry” without expectations and enjoy the ride for the interesting story it is on its own. Oh…and read the book. It’s a pleasure not to be missed. Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Cindy M Authentic sets, costumes (gorgeous), props from the smallest detail to the overall look. Outstanding writing, pacing and story structure. Outstanding performances even when the characters likely made it challenging-the stoic, humorless Liz did get a bit tiresome. Identifiable characters in that they had humanity, passion and foiables that anyone could identify with. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Gaby S Research after Elizabeth's first episode in the tv show: "Tell me in one word how you felt watching the program" Girl: Capable. Took the words right out of my mouth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Lino C Excellent work, but needs to follow the original material closer.. it misses a lot of what makes the Zott character what she is. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review LL S Well-meant, but meanders its way to a less than satisfying conclusion. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Timothy B Was really surprised by this show. i was hooked on the first episode Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Andrei D A little too melodramatic in the final two episodes Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
