Grosse Pointe was one of the my favourite shows – so underrated
Loved it, and hence why I included.
I have Grosse Pointe on DVD and recently watched it again, it still holds up, sure you need a little knowledge of history but not too much it’s just knowing about small things like the Monica Lewinsky scandal (Hunter gaining weight to be in an Oliver Stone film about it).
