"She wants attention, she wants power, she just doesn't want to stop…" HBO has debuted an official trailer for The Many Lives of Martha Stewart, a four-part documentary series that is already streaming. This series initially launched back in January, but for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, it's a reminder to catch up and watch now - available on Max. The series examines the clever life of Martha Stewart and delves into her meteoric rise, encounters with formidable challenges, and her extraordinary return, shedding light on the woman behind the legendary persona through never-before-seen images, archival footage, and exclusive interviews. Stewart's career follows an explosive rise from caterer to media mogul, before facing formidable challenges (e.g. going to prison) and eventually a remarkable comeback, unveiling the woman behind the icon. I do find the ups & downs of Martha Stewart and all she has gone through rather crazy & fascinating, but I'm not quite sure I'm interested enough to sit through a four-part series about her. Take a look anyway.
