"The intro credits for Margo's Got Money Troubles are a whole vibe. We're dropped into a surreal, candy-colored pinball game, created by Peter Anderson Studio. The sequence introduces us to an alien-like princess figure. Her movements are smooth and assured, but she keeps getting bumped into even more precarious situations."
"When we first meet Margo, she's an idealistic college girl, waiting tables by night and attending classes by day. She's a writer and a dreamer. But this affair immediately complicates things, as she gets pregnant and decides to keep the baby."
"Margo remains laser-focused on the positives. The premiere episode sets Margo up in opposition to her mother, Shyanne, a woman who also had a baby in her twenties with minimal support. Shyanne has been knocked around this particular pastel pinball machine before."
