It is really surprising that we haven’t seen this on TV before. I think people think women at that age are miserable and complain-y and boring and whiny, and they’re not. In some cultures, reaching menopause is a sign of wisdom — ‘a second spring’ it’s called. Women at that age are just more interesting because they’ve done more in life. They’ve got more to say and have more developed, layered, and mature personalities.
