Fifty
There are many forms of guilt, but disappointing your mother solely by your existence is the guilt Amanda has to bear. And accept. After realizing that her mother had her at her current age of 25, Amanda realizes she’s the farthest thing from what her mom expected her to be: Straight, polished, and a doctor. Instead, Amanda is queer, political, and impulsive. The episodes highlight the two different yet paralleled lives of mother and daughter. How will Amanda introduce her grown-up-self to a very Catholic, overly-doting, and judgemental mother?
Living in New York City as an adult, Amanda feels free...er. Amanda explores her sexuality, promiscuity with males and females, and tries using her voice more loudly to combat oppressive systems and the patriarchy. Though she is finding herself, Amanda is hindered by not feeling fully able to share her true authentic self with the person who matters the most - her mom. Being in therapy helps Amanda to realize that she fears losing her mother and how much that impacts her relationships. She tells herself she’s a hilarious badass bitch who doesn’t care about what mother thinks, but in reality, she’s walking on eggshells.
