Moreover, it highlights how financial stress often leads to personal distress, because it is a deep personal loss that goes beyond money.
It impacts one’s identity, a sense of security and the lifestyle one has become used to.

Co-created by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), Season 1 was the most-streamed series globally in the first half of 2025.
