cnbc.com'Mrs. Fletcher' is a rare coming-of-middle-age story
Sarah Shatz/HBO(CNN) - "Mrs. Fletcher" takes a concept that sounds like a snooze and turns it into an unexpectedly absorbing limited series. Hahn's Eve Fletcher is proudly shipping her son off the college when the seven episodes begin, grappling -- for the first time since her divorce -- with an empty nest and the prospect of being truly alone. Yet if Eve is struggling with what comes next, her son, Brendan (Jackson White), isn't faring much better.

"Mrs. Fletcher" premieres Oct. 27 at 10:30 p.m. on HBO.
