The behind the scenes chaos at a hugely fashionable Italian New York restaurant, complete with gourmet food, a high-flying chef, and some truly obnoxious customers!
From the executive producers of 'My So-Called Life', the Emmy Award-winning television series finally comes to DVD. In 1987, we were introduced to a group of couples, of friends... Thirtysomethings. A dream cast of characters that, from the very first episode, resonated with a nation of people who knew these people all too well. Michael and Hope Steadman, the suburban new parent poster children; Elliot and Nancy Weston, a couple whose marriage is falling apart; Gary Shepard, the perpetually Twentysomething thirtysomething; Melissa Steadman, Michael's cousin who is a struggling artist; and Ellyn Warren, the driven but restless career-chaser. Thirtysomething channelled the consciousness of baby boomers into a running commentary on what it really meant to be on the cusp of success and failure, marriage and divorce, adulthood and parenthood. Every week the show blurred the lines between television and film, drama and comedy, hard reality and twisted imagination.

Thirtysomething was more than a snapshot of the late 80s/early 90s, it was a cultural phenomenon. By Season Three, the show about the inner workings of a group of close friends and married couples had reached full maturity as a series. The relationships and conflicts existed on a completely realised level that allowed the viewer to associate, to new heights, with what was happening on their TV. Whether it was Michael and Hope trying to keep their fire lit, Gary evolving into fatherhoo...
Shiva Baby is a darkly playful comedy of chaos about a young bisexual woman grappling with tradition and independence over the course of one climactic day-long shiva, a Jewish gathering of friends and family during a time of mourning. A highlight of 2020's Toronto International Film Festival and SXSW, and featuring a standout lead performance from emerging actor-comedian Rachel Sennott, the acclaimed feature debut from writer-director Emma Seligman is bold, modern filmmaking at its most daring, hilarious and unforgettable.

Few television programmes can claim to have the cultural resonance that 'thirtysomething' did in the late 1980s. Winner of four Emmy Awards, the ground-breaking drama held up a mirror to a generation of young adults struggling to find a larger meaning to their existence. Season Two picks up where everyone left off – and then some. Hope and Michael contemplate a second child; Elliot moves to lure Nancy back; Gary gets serious with his girlfriend Susannah; Melissa continues to find herself; and Ellyn gets an ulcer. Then there's all that happens in between, including the arrival of Michael and Elliot's antagonist: the diabolical, smug, manipulative and very successful advertising mogul Miles Drentell. The second season continues to push the limits of what a great television show is capable of while consistently maintaining its artistic and creative edge. The Complete Season Two features all 17 episodes along with exclusive new interviews and commentaries. Special Features: New Cast Interviews Commentaries by The Creator, Cast and Crew

This is the fourth and final season the closing chapter in what would become the landmark television drama of the 1980s. And what a final chapter it was. On the surface it was business as usual for these thirtysomethings, with Melissa struggling with the men in her life, Hope coming to terms with her perfectionism and Nancy dealing with her cancer recovery. But whether it was Elliot and Michael growing apart or a showstopping tragedy that beset the entire group, Season Four certainly marked.
