Lessons in ChemistryTV-show · 2023
If you're into period dramas where women just absolutely refuse to stay in their lane, this one's for you. Brie Larson as Elizabeth Zott is serving up serious feminine rage and intellect, proving that a kitchen can be just as much a lab as a science facility. Plus, Lewis Pullman is giving off major tortured genius vibes, and we are absolutely not complaining. Get ready to feel empowered and maybe a little bit like smashing the patriarchy.
Set in 1950s America, this series follows Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant chemist whose scientific aspirations are consistently undermined by a society that expects women to be homemakers. After being fired from her lab, Elizabeth, portrayed by Brie Larson, reluctantly accepts a job as the host of a television cooking show. She forms an unexpected and profound connection with fellow scientist Calvin Evans. Using her new platform, Elizabeth begins to empower a nation of housewives, teaching them far more than just recipes and encouraging them to pursue their own ambitions.
