DESCRIPTION:
(from Hulu's press release, June 2024) The series follows three best friends - gay gentlemen of a certain age - who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother and a naked Gen Z housekeeper. 'Mid-Century Modern' stars Nathan Lane as Bunny Schneiderman, Matt Bomer as Jerry Frank, and Linda Lavin as Sybil Schneiderman, Bunny's mother. A successful businessman with one foot in retirement, Bunny is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced he's worthy of it. Like her son, Sybil's strengths are her weaknesses: wise, caring, and iconoclastic - which sometimes means she's critical, smothering and amoral. Jerry left the Mormon Church and his marriage in his early 20s after his wife informed him and the rest of the congregation that he was a homosexual. Now a latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term, Jerry is pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head. |
