They say 'a mother’s love knows no bounds' and that theory is put to the test, this week, when one devoted matriarch wages war on her son’s suspicious new flame in Prime Video’s The Girlfriend.
Based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name, the six-part psychological thriller stars Golden Globe winner Robin Wright - best known for playing Jenny in classic movie Forrest Gump and, more recently, Claire in Netflix’s political thriller House of Cards - as Laura, a gallery owner who seems to have it all: a glittering career, loving husband Howard (Gangs of London’s Waleed Zuaiter), and precious son, Daniel (The Road Trip’s Laurie Davidson), who’s a doctor. Laura’s seemingly perfect world is turned upside down, however, when Daniel brings home Cherry (House of the Dragon’s Olivia Cooke).
