Plot Synopsis

Directed by Martin Scorsese, PRETEND IT'S A CITY is a half-hour series that checks in with urban voice Fran Lebowitz on subjects ranging from tourists, money, subways and the arts to the not-so-simple act of walking in Times Square. (There is a right way to do it.) Along the way, Lebowitz's own past comes into focus: a life marked by constant curiosity and invigorating independence. Lebowitz knows what she likes -- and what she doesn't like. And she won't wait for an invitation to tell you. For decades, the critic and essayist has been expressing her opinions, sometimes grouchily, always riotously. A New Yorker to the core, Lebowitz has raised straight talk to an art form, packaging her no-nonsense observations about the city and its denizens into a punchy running commentary, one that spares nobody. Shaping Lebowitz's thoughts into the furiously funny guidebook every New Yorker has at one point wished for, PRETEND IT'S A CITY. On Friday, January 8, 2021 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released all seven episodes of the series.
