Summary
A review of the Apple TV+ series "Margo's Got Money Troubles," based on the novel by Rufi Thorpe. The show follows Margo Millet, a young single mother who turns to creating OnlyFans content—specifically, humorous Pokémon-themed penis analyses—to make ends meet. Unlike shows like "Euphoria" that sensationalize sex work, this series aims to humanize the experience. The review discusses the show's tone, performances (particularly by Ella Purnell as Margo), and how it balances comedy with genuine emotional depth about financial struggle, parenthood, and survival.
