Caroline Duffy is a successful cartoonist in Manhattan whose eclectic friends are sometimes the subjects of her comic strip. Her best friend, Annie, helps her stay in focus while Caroline's convoluted relationship with her colorist, Richard, also keeps her guessing. Through it all, Caroline maintains a funny outlook on life that inspires the hilarity of her cartoon strip.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Caroline in the City is agreeable entertainment thanks to Lea Thompson's screwball charm and the crack comedic timing of Malcolm Gets, although this cartoonist sitcom seems hesitant to draw outside the lines.
