Episodes:

Ep. 1: Episode 1 (2021-02-21)

Mia Farrow recounts her storied relationship with Woody Allen, once a beloved father figure to her seven children. While their adopted daughter Dylan chronicles a childhood idyllic in many ways, she also speaks to the escalating discomfort she felt under the intensity of Woody's attention, which was a growing concern for Mia and her inner circle.
Ep. 2: Episode 2 (2021-02-28)

As Farrow and Allen ascend the ranks as a Hollywood power couple, their close-knit family is torn apart by a startling revelation about Woody's relationship with Mia's daughter Soon-Yi. Dylan details the abuse allegations that ignited decades of backlash and changed her life forever. The broader context of Allen's body of work is explored.
Ep. 3: Episode 3 (2021-03-07)

While Mia tries to shield seven-year-old Dylan from the trauma of repeated questioning, Allen’s legal and PR teams drive a narrative that Mia is a scorned woman and unfit mother who brainwashed her children. Two separate 1992 investigations in New York and Connecticut are reexamined in light of never-before-made-public court documents, police evidence, and revelatory videotape.
Ep. 4: Episode 4 (2021-03-14)

Dylan and the family attempt to heal after a bitter 1993 custody battle. Decades later, while Woody continues to receive accolades in Hollywood, the momentum of the #MeToo movement – coupled with Ronan Farrow’s public support – emboldens Dylan to go public with her story for the first time.
