“Six Feet Under” star Rachel Griffiths gets a new job in upcoming drama series “Madam” – as an ethical brother owner.
The first trailer for the series sees Griffiths, playing wife and mother Mack, get to grips with the business after she discovers her husband has been seeing sex workers behind her back.
“Mack Leigh lives in small-town New Zealand with her husband Rob and their two sons,” reads the synopsis. “What was meant to be a short visit became permanent thanks to the free healthcare for their disabled son. When Mack discovers Rob’s been seeing a sex worker, she’s surprisingly not angry but inspired. After all, sex work is legal in New Zealand, and her marriage has lacked intimacy for years. Always a renegade and a bit of an entrepreneur, Mack learns the only brothel in town is run by a douchebag. With no money and no experience, she decides to open her own ‘feminist, ethical brothel.’ Mack forges Rob’s signature on a home loan, leases a motel, and recruits an eclectic swagger of mostly rookie sex workers.”
