Apple TV's 'Margo's Got Money Troubles' Debuts With Strong Early Praise

Reviews cite an empathetic take on online sex work under financial pressure.

Overview

  • The series, which premiered Wednesday on Apple TV, launched with three episodes and will roll out weekly through a May 20 finale.
  • The dramedy follows a young mother who turns to OnlyFans, a subscription site where creators sell paid content often of an adult nature, leading to family strain and a custody fight.
  • Elle Fanning stars alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman and Nicole Kidman, with David E. Kelley adapting Rufi Thorpe’s novel for A24 and Apple TV.
  • Early Rotten Tomatoes scores showed 100% from roughly 20 critic reviews, a strong start that could change as more critiques arrive.
  • Fanning said she researched OnlyFans and learned hands-on parenting on set, and early coverage describes the show’s tone as warm, witty and deeper than its premise suggests.
