Lessons in Chemistry is not based on a true story, but the Apple TV+ series is inspired by author Bonnie Garmus’ career and her mother’s generation. Set in the 1960s, Brie Larson stars as Elizabeth Zott, an aspiring scientist who was fired from the lab that she worked for. She isn’t sure what is next for her career before she gets an offer to host a cooking show on television. She accepts the offer and decides to use this spot on television to help teach women a lot more than just how to make homemade recipes.
