This Sunday, Olive Kitteridge, a four-part mini-series, will debut on HBO.

It tells the story of a middle-aged school teacher in a coastal community in Maine.

It’s a world of small-town gossip — and domestic pain and tragedy that folks have a hard time facing or talking about.

The TV series stars Frances McDormand in the title role, along with Richard Jenkins.
