Rueben's Ramblings

The Australian streaming series The Commons will make its US and Canadian premiere on Sundance Now on December 3.

Set in a gripping vision of a near future, the series stars Joanne Froggatt as Eadie, who just wants a normal life, but the world around her won’t let her have it. A brilliant, 38-year-old neuropsychologist, she longs to have a child with her vector biologist husband, Lloyd (David Lyons), but multiple unsuccessful IVF treatments have put her dreams of motherhood on hold. Meanwhile, the world around her is in chaos, as global warming and parasitic diseases have made the divide between rich and poor even greater.

The show also stars Rupert Penry-Jones.

Here is a trailer for The Commons:
