Julia is inspired by Julia Child's extraordinary life and her show The French Chef, which essentially invented food television. Through Julia and her singular can-do spirit, it explores an evolving time in American history – the emergence of a new social institution called public television, feminism and the women's movement, the nature of celebrity, and America's cultural growth. At its heart, the show is a portrait of a marriage with an evolving and complicated power dynamic.
In France, while butting heads with Simca over volume two of their seminal cookbook, Julia takes inspiration from an exceptional meal. Back in Boston, Avis escorts Russ to an eye-opening dinner party.
