Near the end of the first episode of "Conversations with Friends," we see Frances (Alison Oliver), the main character, curled into the fetal position on the bathroom floor with a sheet of painkillers nearby. When Frances' best friend Bobbi (Sasha Lane) finds her like this, she remarks: "You suffer." Frances does.
The series goes to great lengths to show the extent to which Frances' period pain determines the course of her friendships and romances.
