YES! That's the one. Thanks a lot!
Hi, all. Trying to find these TV series I watched a few years ago. Saw just a couple of episodes and kind of wanted to watch the whole thing but could never recall what it was called or find it by short descriptions. Anyway, I remember it starts with a guy coming back to his hometown after being away for years (do not remember why but think it was some family thing). He is not well liked by the people in town because he wrote the book based on his life there that did not present some of the locals in the positive light (and they could mostly recognize themselves in supposedly fictional characters). The book made him a successful writer and people also resent that he made money by mocking them. So, he is trying to work through this drama while doing whatever he came in town to do. Plot revolves around other characters too, including the writer's former girlfriend from when he still lived in this town. From what I remember, she is in a new happy relationship and soon to be married. Her future husband wants also to formally adopt her kid but needs the biological father (the woman's ex-boyfriend - a third guy) to sign something so that can happen. As it turns out, the woman was not quite sure from the beginning whose child her kid was and her ex might not be the father but the writer might. More drama and mystery involved but do not remember the details. Any help in finding this appreciated! Thanks!
