What: This funny, sweet, slightly trippy miniseries does a lot. It puts faces to the many characters in the sprawling, interconnected stories from the first Tales of the City book. It makes promiscuity and drug use look kind of adorable. It makes you want to move to San Francisco immediately. It also basically launched Laura Linney's career.
Representative quote:
"Mary Ann, a strange man answered the phone."
"He's not a strange man, Mom. He's a homosexual."
"WHAT?"
"I know you've heard of them. They have them on TV now!"
"He's not a strange man, Mom. He's a homosexual."
"WHAT?"
"I know you've heard of them. They have them on TV now!"
How to get it: Currently available to stream on Netflix.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Read the book Tales of the City (Rec. #67). The sequels --- More Tales of the City (Rec. #211) and Further Tales of the City (Rec. #294) --- also got the miniseries treatment.
