In the new limited series “The Girlfriend,” actor Laurie Davidson plays Daniel, a young doctor whose life takes a turn after he introduces his real-estate agent girlfriend Cherry to his extremely wealthy parents, Laura and Howard.

Though he’s in his late 20s, Daniel is still a bit of a mama’s boy. His mother Laura, played by Robin Wright , takes an instant dislike to Cherry, portrayed by Olivia Cooke , who quickly returns the favor.

The psychological thriller that arrives on Prime Video on Wednesday, Sept. 10, toys with viewers’ feelings, with episodes presenting the same events from the perspectives of both Laura and Cherry.

Is Laura a paranoid, overly protective mother? Is Cherry a scheming social climber? And who is it that ends up dead by the end of the story?
