DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2018) Inspired by the 1980s TV show of the same name, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO centers around Meera (Hannah Simone), a 30-something Indian-American woman, who loves tequila and karaoke and has spent the last 30ish years searching and failing to find meaning in her life. Pressure mounts as her younger sister's wedding approaches and highlights to Meera's traditional Indian family that yes, she is STILL single with an unimpressive job. All seems lost until an inexplicable event occurs that will change the course of Meera's life forever: she is entrusted with a super suit to protect the planet. Meera may have finally found purpose, but the world has never been in more unreliable hands. |
