   What is Janet Planet about?

   • Even the title “Janet Planet” emphasizes the way Lacy’s world is crafted in Janet’s image, as her life is the only model for love, friendship, and womanhood she’s ever known.

   How does Janet Planet end?

   • Janet Planet ends with Lacy observing her mother from a distance, her eyes following her around the room. Janet's frankness with Lacy allows her daughter to see her in a way that pushes Lacy to look inward. Still, our sense of self is but one facet of our personalities — how we're juxtaposed against others is where we can find more answers.

   Is Janet Planet a good show?

   • Janet Planet establishes the kind of realistic closeness between women and girls that has been mostly relegated to television in recent years. It feels like we spend a whole season with this little family and yet it still doesn’t seem like nearly enough time. The world Baker creates for her characters is so rich, warm, and beautiful.

   Why does Janet Planet end with Lacy observing her mother?

   • Perhaps it's the idea that, try as we might, we'll never fully know ourselves. The people around us see things in us that we've never thought of; to be seen in that way is its own kind of intimacy. Janet Planet ends with Lacy observing her mother from a distance, her eyes following her around the room.

   Is 'Janet Planet' a tribute to the theatre?

   • If “The Flick” was Baker’s theatre-based tribute to movies, “Janet Planet” is her cinematic ode to the theatre. There is Lacy’s figurine company, which, apart from the wry inclusion of a bright-haired troll doll (a very nineties obsession), feels like a tip of the hat to Ingmar Bergman’s “Fanny and Alexander” (1982).
