NBC’s ‘Grosse Pointe Garden Society’ Delivers Murder, Mayhem and Soapy Chaos: TV Review


In the new soapy NBC drama, Melissa Fumero and Aja Naomi King lead a unlikely crew causing murder and mayhem in a suburban garden society.

From “Good Girls” creator Jenna Bans and her co-creator, Bill Krebs comes “ Grosse Pointe Garden Society,” the latest unique drama with the same elements that made shows like “Desperate Housewives” and “How to Get Away with Murder” such standout hits. Set in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (a wealthy suburb of Detroit), and centering on four local garden club members, the series is a reminder that putting a soapy spin on reliable formulas mostly leads to success. As the foursome draws closer, they begin unpacking their personal struggles and chaotic inner lives, which leads to a murder coverup on the night of the Garden Society’s annual black-tie gala.
