Rachel McAdams is no stranger to challenging roles, but her latest project is a groundbreaking collaboration that tackles medical ethics, societal taboos, and the boundaries of women's health care in a way that's never been done before. McAdams' venture into this new space begs the question: What if Grey's Anatomy met Breaking Bad? As reported by Vogue back in February 2023, McAdams teamed up with British screenwriting talent Alice Birch, and the duo went on a wild ride of creative expression that took an audacious turn.
A Mind-Meld Made in Heaven: Alice Birch Joins Forces
As soon as Rachel McAdams and Alice Birch spoke, they instantly knew they were going to be partners in crime, or perhaps partners in challenging societal norms. "We had a very brief phone call at first, and instinctively it was just like, yes," recalled McAdams. Their creative chemistry was immediate, and their second, much lengthier, meeting took place at a Camden pub where they began developing the show's plot lines.
The Provocative Take on Medical Ethics and Women’s Health Care
This isn't your run-of-the-mill medical drama. "It instantly felt like we were going to go on a journey together—and we certainly have been," said McAdams. Their vision delves into murky medical ethics and the issue of prioritizing earthly pleasures. More than that, both sisters in the story dream of leveling the playing field in women's health care, by whatever means necessary. And by that, we mean everything from identity-swapping to drug-huffing; it's as if the lines between genius and insanity are gloriously blurred.
"Thrillingly provocative" is an understatement when it comes to the end product of McAdams and Birch's collaboration. From eye-popping montages to identity-swapping escapades, this is one show that isn't afraid to push boundaries. McAdams' version is laced with a potent cocktail of science and advocacy, making it an extraordinary foray into television. But it's not all fun and games. The show takes on serious themes with a sense of audacity, much like its characters who are set on upending traditional norms around women's health care.
As if you needed another reason to become a Rachel McAdams fan, this new role adds a different shade to her already illustrious career, portraying a character that is both revolutionary and provocative. But don't take our word for it; watch it and let McAdams and Birch take you on a journey that promises to be anything but ordinary.
