Tales of the City
Naivety and mystery, hilarity and sobriety, grass and arse!
Created by Armistead Maupin, Richard Kramer
A warm, playful ensemble portrait of 1970s San Francisco bohemia centered on an apartment house, balancing comedy and genuine human connection across a short, affectionate miniseries.
Mary Ann Singleton, a naïve young secretary from the mid-west, tumbles head first into the colorful world of San Francisco, where carefree chaos revolves around the funky old apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane.
