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 Aug 5, 2026
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 Aug 1, 2026
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, 2026

R T @RT72946274 Sep 18, 2026 It kept me entertained but I wouldn’t say I loved it. A little sickly sweet at times which felt a little forced but generally a good watch. Interesting characters in a not so unique storyline but still worth a watch. See more SheilaF T @SheilaMar10 Sep 7, 2026 The book was better (my first Elin Hilderbrand!), but I still really enjoyed it. I especially loved the women’s relationships and watching as their backstories shed light on the tensions between them. Add the luxurious setting, insta-worthy food, and specialty cocktails and it felt like a mini vacation! A little rushed in places, but overall, a warm and enjoyable watch. See more Alejandro R @AleAliAlea Aug 29, 2026 Not enjoyable. A bunch of one dimensional characters that are a bore to watch, that are awful to each other, in typical tv drama that goes for cliche rather than something fun. Some of the details are nice and you wish the show ran with that rather than by typical. The pacing is weird. The tone is bipolar. The charm is seldom seen. See more Emily B @RT86546253 Aug 21, 2026 One of the best female driven dramas. I absolutely can’t wait to see the next episode and I get excited when I have another episode to watch. The show is so well written and it has the very best actors. I encouraged all my friend to watch it and they did and also loved it. See more Angie M @Angieolmar Aug 20, 2026 Absolutely loved it. Watched it in 2 days See more Ivette GD @Ivettecita Aug 14, 2026 It works because of character development and performances. A few good lines here and there. The script, mostly the premise and the way the story develops, and the direction feels dated and vanilla. There isn’t a distinct POV behind the show. Some of the beats are heavy-handed and it has a lot of: “let’s separate and have-a-moment,” scenes. I’m a sucker for women ensemble anything though, and glad to have discovered D’Arcy Carden. Love her on this and wasn’t familiar with her work. See more Read all reviews
