Hollis Shaw, a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste and warm demeanor, suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis' picture-perfect life -- her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans. In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, thirties and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

When the show works, it’s because it earnestly honors female friendships and the difficulty of maintaining them as you grow older. It’s not exactly a recipe for a successful series, but The Five Star Weekend still makes for a satisfying one-time meal. Go to Full Review Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture 1d
We watch them let loose. We watch them eat. We watch them laugh. We watch them live, and that’s such a departure from the grim depths to which women’s TV has sunk that it makes The Five Star Weekend worth the trip. Go to Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 6h
Even though the series tackles grief and some heavy secrets, it’s surprisingly joyful. There’s laughter, dancing, stunning seascapes, and a chic, cozy atmosphere that will make you want to book your own transformative girls’ getaway. Go to Full Review Jeanine T.

I really liked The Five-Star Weekend. It’s funny, sassy, and so refreshing to have a character-driven series about female relationships that centers the work it takes for friendship to work. Go to Full Review Karina Adelgaard Womentainment 1d

You can laugh a little, maybe cry a little, and you should be able to recognize the types of people we’re introduced to. The cast alone was enough to get me interested. I was entertained in exactly the way I... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric S @RT05161680 2h I made it two-thirds of the way through the first episode. I just couldn’t do anymore. Jennifer Garner‘s acting is atrocious (as usual), but I typically can get past her sickeningly-sweet characters if the story is somewhat interesting. This story is beyond boring. I can’t think of anything more uninteresting than a show about some shallow rich bitches hanging out in a Nantucket mansion. The story makes no sense - her husband dies so she throws a weekend party where she wines-n-dines her snooty snobby friends?!? Her daughter is named "Goose"?!? She has to Swiffer the vacation home mansion that has an immaculately maintained landscaped exterior (perfectly mowed)?!? Gimme a break.
