Little cooking (and chemistry) lessons

The actor, best known for his role as Captain Marvel, returns to his first love. Small productions, sometimes indie and small screen.
In this series, Brie Larson finds herself in the shoes of a young lab technician working in a male-dominated world. Trying to overcome the injuries she suffered, she will prove during the season that she is not just a simple housewife. This learning series is as feminist as it gets, but without being over the top, it charts the trajectory of a woman learning to be strong.
Chemistry Lessons is a series that does not lack elegance. If you like products inspired by the 50s and 60s, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. You’ll most likely get lost in the science jargon of the first few episodes, but that’s not the heart of the story. Brie Larson stars alongside Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Kevin Sussman (The Big Bang Theory) and Aja Naomi King (The Killing).
