Jessica Hecht is no stranger to TV, yet it took 25 years for her to finally be recognized by the Emmys.
as a young gay man with cerebral palsy who decides step out on his own and forge a path to a life he wants, Hecht plays his overprotective mother, Karen. First presented as a helicopter mom,pulls back the layers on Karen’s co-dependence with Ryan, who helps distract from how lonely she is, as she also starts to figure out life on her own.
But Karen isn’t just left to wallow alone by herself. Over the course of season one’s eight episodes, she starts up a relationship with a ruggedly handsome, new neighbor Phil , and learns to unwind in unexpected ways, leading to one of Hecht’s best scenes. Admittedly, Hecht couldn’t figure out how to act in the moment without sending it up. “Maybe I did send it up a little, but our director [Anna Dokoza] was so amazing at finding another angle other than the obvious one,” she says. “So getting stoned and eating the grilled cheese, I loved doing.”
