It is a series of comedy about a woman named Eve Fletcher, a divorced woman who is experiencing a new life. Eve was able to bring down her only child in college where she began to return home. Eve begins her passionate life as she begins to discover unexpected and exciting possibilities after embracing a new personality in her complicated life.
All together, Mrs. Fletcher is a good story that could have been so much better had they added a few more episodes to properly wrap up the story. As it is, this works mainly as a showcase for Kathryn Hahn to get a lot more leading roles.
Unfortunately, we spend almost as much time at college with Brendan, and that's when Mrs. Fletcher shifts tonal gears and becomes a downbeat melodrama about this irredeemable, snide and smug lout.
At the center we have Hahn's glorious performance. She embraces Eve's insecurities and messiness without vanity and enhances Perrotta's original creation.
It's content to let Hahn fill each beat, no matter how empty, knowing that if all else fails, there's plenty of enjoyment to be had in watching someone who likes to watch.
Mrs. Fletcher is: another cheapening in a string of cheapenings in [Kathryn] Hahn's career as she rejoins Judy Greer and their posse of undervalued actresses to once again wander the TV wasteland looking for material worthy of their charms.
It's already a remarkable gift to be the actor who nails supporting roles so spectacularly that you wish you could spend more time with those characters, while appreciating that they haven't overstayed their welcome.
