After the success of her 1961 debut cookbook, Julia Child (Sarah Lancashire) sets her sights on the relatively new medium of television, pitching the idea for a cooking show to Boston’s public station WGBH. Despite objections from executives and reluctance from her husband Paul (David Hyde Pierce), Julia stakes her future on The French Chef – pioneering the modern cooking show in the process. With the help of best friend Avis DeVoto (Bebe Neuwirth) and producer Alice Naman (Brittany Bradford), Julia brings her signature joie de vivre as she endeavors to make room at the table not only for herself – but for home cooks everywhere. Charming and hilarious, Julia sheds light on the life of America’s preeminent cook and a pivotal time of change in American history. (HBO Max)

I’m familiar with Julia’s story from the film Julie & Julia, but this series dives into the life of the original Julia, where it all began. This show is steeped in charming nostalgia, and it’s delightful. It’s a lovely story, perfect for a single-season format. Sarah Lancashire is fantastic in the lead role, and her husband is the kind of supportive partner anyone would want. Overall, it’s a feel-good series from HBO Max that leaves you smiling.
