Through the story of three different women from different eras, he perfectly depicted his depth and understanding of the world of comedy and drama. Hence, this move of creating a project with Sandbox Studios for Netflix is a fascinating route.

Family drama on the surface might seem to be filled with warmth. However, as Marc Cherry often does in his other projects, this upcoming Netflix series will also be filled with an intricate web of complications that will be unfolded through the episodes.
