Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, The Board is one mother's attempt to uncover the dark secrets that pervade her small New England town. Has she uncovered a criminal enterprise run by members of the school board? Or is it all in her head?
So much for fresh starts. When single mom Liv and her third-grade daughter move to a small New Hampshire town from Boston after a messy divorce and an even messier job loss, they soon find themselves dealing with major culture shock. Within days, Liv is on the "problem" list of the man who acts both as principal and superintendent in her district, and he shuts down her concerns at a school board meeting. Liv's daughter, who suffers from anxiety, struggles to adapt at a school run like an army barracks.
