In Crystal, Colorado (very obviously meant to be Boulder) there’s going to be a new, free, super exclusive school for “exceptional learners” and the admission process turns the parents of all the potentially eligible kids into desperate people.
Focused primarily on four women who became friends when their babies took a swim class together. We learn about their kids, their troubled marriages, their careers and sometimes even the inner thoughts of an ex-husband who is riddled in debt, overly invested in U10 soccer and about to find himself with another ex-wife. There’s also one other family, a poor one, who happens to be the family who cleans the rich folks house (I wanted a lot more of that kid!) most of the women are REALLY unlikable, the men portrayed unflatteringly, but some (not all) of the kids are OK. A few of the kids do things that didn’t really add up for me but made for some good drama.
