Show Description(s):
The Mad Ones - 18-year-old Samantha Brown is caught between a yearning for the unknown and feeling bound by expectation, she telescopes back to a time before her world had fallen apart. As she relives her senior year, we meet Sam's well-intentioned helicopter mother Bev and her high school sweetheart of a boyfriend Adam, but it's her memories of her best friend Kelly that haunt her. When Kelly is killed in a car wreck, Sam loses not only her best friend but also the part of herself that was learning to be brave.Will she follow her mother's dreams for her, or will she summon the courage to drive away from her friends and family into a future she can't imagine?
POTUS - When a White House PR nightmare spins into a legit sh*tshow, seven brilliant and beleaguered women must risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble. The show is an irreverent look at sex, politics and the women in charge of the man in charge. Who knew that a global crisis is always just a four-letter word away.
