Prepare for the onscreen pairing you didn’t know you needed: Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling. Katherine (Thompson) is a talk-show host whose career is threatened by the young upstart Molly (Kaling), the series’ first female staff writer who lands the job as part of a new diversity scheme. We’re expecting plenty of zinging one-liners in this odd-couple story, which, since it is produced and scripted by Kaling, is as apt a metaphor for today’s generational handover as any.
