Synopsis
Tales of the City (2019), Season 1 is a drama with a mystery thread you can watch online on iFILM — 10 episodes that bring Mary Ann back to San Francisco two decades after she walked out on her daughter and husband for a career.
What pulls her home is Anna Madrigal's 90th birthday — the landlady of Barbary Lane, once Mary Ann's chosen family. The city has moved on, and her daughter Shawna greets her with a cold shoulder. The longer she stays, the clearer it gets that Barbary Lane is under threat: Anna keeps receiving anonymous notes, and Mary Ann and Shawna set out to find who's digging into her past and why. One episode drops back to the 1960s, when a young Anna first arrived in town. Around them run the lives of Michael, Ben, Jake and Margot.
A Netflix adaptation of Armistead Maupin's novels, with Laura Linney and Elliot Page. It's a warm, unhurried show about found family and acceptance, where the mystery is mostly an excuse to gather everyone under one roof. Best for viewers who value character over plot tension.
