But what if the pursuit of happiness is vastly overrated, maybe even dangerous?

On Monday's show, Academy Award winner Tim Robbins talks about Topsy Turvy, the new play he wrote in response to pandemic isolation.

From the Shawshank Redemption to founding the Actors Gang, Robbins discusses how his commitment to creating politically relevant art has shaped his four-decade career.

Sarah Snook has provided plenty of proof about how good an actress she is, and attention has been paid.

She won an Emmy Award for her role as Shiv Roy, one of the manipulative, wealthy siblings on Succession, and won a Tony Award for playing 26 different roles in her one-woman Broadway production of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

In her new Peacock TV miniseries, All Her Fault, she plays only one role, but right from the opening scene, it's a dramatic and challenging one, and she pulls you right in.

Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a wealthy wife with a five-year-old son.

We meet her, at the start of all her fault, running a seemingly mundane errand, picking up her son from an after-school playdate at the home of Jenny, one of the other classroom moms.

Except when Marissa arrives at the address that Jenny had texted to her, the woman who lives there isn't Jenny and knows nothing about a playdate or about Marissa's son Milo.

Linda Cropper plays Esther, the helpful homeowner.
