★★★★☆ (Excellent, but in need of a few less explosive secrets and a few more quiet, devastating silences.)

The family's world is turned upside down as the consequences of their actions come to light. Lexi is forced to choose between her loyalty to her family and her own survival. Ethan's addiction lands him in a crisis, and Scarlett's investigation puts her in danger.

Complex family relationships can be characterized by:

The dramatic question is always the same: How do I become myself without destroying the people who made me? This resonates because it mirrors the universal human experience of growing up. We all struggle to define where our personality ends and our upbringing begins.

The series premieres with the Richardson family gathering for a lavish charity gala. Julian announces his plans to retire and hand over the reins to Lexi, causing tension among the family members. Meanwhile, Ethan's addiction issues come to light, and Scarlett begins to question her family's values.
