"House of Cards star Robin Wright is Laura, a London-based art curator with stacks of money in the bank. The mighty townhouse she shares with her husband Howard (Waleed Zuaiter) and guileless son Danny (Laurie Davidson) comes fitted with a pool, sauna, and gallery-cum-office. In episode one, Laura playfully wrestles with her son in said pool, and rests her foot on his thigh in the sauna."
"In Laura's eyes, Cherry is a liar with an iron fist and a potentially mafia-scale secret hidden in her past, intent on weasling her son out of everything. In Cherry's, Laura is an over-bearing, ice-cold monster-in-law with a bizarre, Freudian fixation on her son. Both takes might be true, or neither. We, as an audience, are left to pick a side."
The Girlfriend centers on Laura, a wealthy London art curator, her husband Howard, and son Danny, whose lives are disrupted when Danny brings home Cherry, an enigmatic estate agent. Each episode splits between Laura's and Cherry's viewpoints, labeled 'LAURA' and 'CHERRY' in blood-red typeface, so the same actions are interpreted differently through competing lenses. Incidents such as spilled hot sauce and a witnessed assault gain divergent meanings depending on perspective. Laura sees Cherry as manipulative and dangerous; Cherry portrays Laura as an overbearing, Freudian mother. The series makes the audience weigh conflicting truths and choose which version to trust.
