Women on the Verge is a new six-part comedy drama set in Dublin that follows the lives of three women in their 30s, played by Kerry Condon, Nina Sosanya and Eileen Walsh.

Whilst everyone else is settling down, married with kids, and increasingly in control of their lives, Laura, Katie and Alison seem to be moving in the opposite direction. Women on the Verge follows these flawed and complex friends as they navigate the challenges of life, love and relationships.

Created by Sharon Horgan and Lorna Martin, and adapted from Martin’s critically acclaimed comic memoir ‘Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’, which was in turn based on her much loved Grazia column Conversations with My Therapist, the show has been described as a frank, hilarious and often shocking love letter to women who haven’t ticked all the boxes and whose lives are a bit messier and a bit more complicated than they ever thought they’d be.

Episode two:

Laura feels elated after her first therapy session with the enigmatic Dr. Fitzgerald and feels back in control of her life however during a work assignment she gets emotionally over involved with a homeless man.  Katie tries to win her daughter’s affections by getting a puppy but it doesn’t quite go as planned.  Alison’s nervous about dinner with Martin’s parents and in a bid to take the heat off her, she persuades Laura and Katie to come along. Things get very messy very quickly and Alison makes a big decision about her relationship with Martin.
