Tales of the City - Season 1

Newly arrived in freewheeling 1970s San Francisco, wide-eyed Mary Ann Singleton (Oscar nominee Laura Linney, John Adams, The Savages) quickly realizes just how far from Cleveland she really is. Moving into a funky house at 28 Barbary Lane- where her landlady (Oscar winner Olympia Dukakis, Moonstruck) welcomes her with a joint-Mary Ann befriends the other residents and finds a good-natured home amid the drugs, drama, and debauchery. Based on Armistead Maupin's beloved novel, this Peabody Award-winning PBS miniseries deftly chronicles the quest for love and connection across a spectrum of sexual experiences.
