[upbeat music] The new Apple TV series Margot's Got Money Troubles boasts a big and impressive cast. Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Nicole Kidman. There's no shortage of star power. It's based on a well-received novel by Rufi Thorpe, and it was created for television by the prolific producer and writer David E. Kelley. Does the series about a college student whose life gets very complicated when she becomes pregnant and decides to be a single mom live up to the many big names in the credits? It does, and it's a real pleasure. I'm Linda Holmes, and today we're talking about Margot's Got Money Troubles on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.
