Hollis Shaw, a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste and warm demeanor, suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis' picture-perfect life -- her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans. In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, thirties and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

Caroline Siede Boston Globe 2h
Equal parts cozy and cathartic, "The Five Star Weekend" proves women over 40 don’t need thriller throughlines to be interesting. Just living their lives is enough. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya Autostraddle 4d
Even when we do get into the external conflicts, it’s more about how those end up impacting their relationships than actually about what those outside forces are. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian Jul 17
3/5
Come on in, it says warmly with every gorgeous shot of island coastline, the water’s lovely. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Jul 21
Is it going to change your life? No. But it’s July, it’s hot, and sometimes you just want to watch beautiful people cry in a beautiful house on a beautiful island. Go to Full Review Louis Wise Sunday Times (UK) Jul 20
3/5
While the show mostly boasts the glowing tones and jangly, cosy soundtrack of any insipid New England drama, it also chucks in references to OnlyFans and pegging. It wants to be savvy about social media, but doesn’t have much new to say about it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gail B @Gailygirl03 1d This deserves an even higher rating than allowed. So cleverly written. Acting was real and relatable - every character. The building of each character was brilliant. Really enjoyed this series. Can't wait for season 2. See more James D @Jkdunlap 1d 1. Best frickin hate watch in a looong time. 2. Perhaps the greatest incidence of an amazing talented cast having to trudge thru an ocean of banality and inaness. 3. Gigi character was a total socio. A really great series would have been GiGi stalk with unending hilarious terror the other 4 Stars into submission to accept her socio self, crazy terror warts and all, and love her as a 5th Star. See more Kate E @kestes 1d 7/10. Much better than Apples Never Fall. See more Allison M @Ally55 3d The five star weekend. Wonderful season love all the actresses in the five star weekend. See more Leah M @RT72527580 4d This was enjoyable!!! Could have had better writing but great cast. See more Angela M @RT83715721 5d I really love it. The cast is amazing. Could go without the mean daughter but shows seem to love adding an angsty child for some reason. Jennifer is amazing and love all the friends. Timothy too obviously! See more Read all reviews
