Simsbury Roots Inspire Netflix Comedy

0:00Rachel Synod, the 30-year-old Simsbury high school grad from Class of 2014, just dropped a new Netflix series called Big Mistakes. She co-created it with Dan Levy and the whole thing pulls straight from her hometown roots. During COVID lockdown, Synod and her siblings got hooked on the Simsbury neighbors Unite Facebook group. Once known as Simsbury Moms Unite, it was packed with non-stop drama that had them scrolling for days. That local online chaos became a key piece of the show, straight out of her Simsbury experience. Fans are buzzing about how real-life suburbania sparked this fresh comedy. Synod's blown up with hits like Shiva Baby in 2020. Bodies, bodies, bodies in 2022, and bottoms in 2023. She's also behind the HBO series I Love LA, already greenlit for season two. These days, she bounces between New York and Los Angeles, but Simsbury's Vive keeps inspiring her work, proving small town stories hit big on screen. This has been Hartford News Today, powered by AI.
