Diese Serie wirft einen bissigen und witzigen Blick auf das Leben der Londoner Oberschicht. Wir verfolgen die Schicksale von Frauen, die auf den ersten Blick alles zu haben scheinen – perfekte Häuser, Familien und sozialen Status. Doch im Hintergrund brodeln komplexe zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen, Sehnsüchte und Unzufriedenheiten. Die Geschichten enthüllen die Absurdität und Oberflächlichkeit des elitären Lebens in einem luxuriösen Viertel, wo die Jagd nach Erfolg und Perfektion auf persönliche Krisen trifft.
Mimi Fleming may 'have it all' - the house, the children, the part-time vanity job, the skinny jeans, the feng shui guru, but life chez Fleming is not as cushy as she'd like. When Mimi meets Si, she soon faces a choice of keeping up or keeping it real.
Mimi, Ralph and their three children have moved to the Dorset countryside, a place without a world class deli in spitting distance, a place to get away from the awful competitiveness of London life, where no one cares what you wear, there are no politics to speak of, and you can get away from exhaust fumes. Right? Totally wrong!
