Based on Rufia Thorpe’s acclaimed 2024 novel and adapted to television by David E. Kelley, Apple TV’s dramedy, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” follows college freshman Margo Millet (Elle Fanning), an aspiring writer whose world unravels after she becomes pregnant during an affair with her married professor, Mark (Michael Angarano). Despite some titillating plot points, the series never quite delivers an authentic portrait of a determined young mom who uses sex work as a move toward financial freedom.
