Things Begin Where They End

**Things Begin Where They End** is the series premiere of the Maggie (TV Series). It premiered on July 6, 2022.

## Premise

*Maggie is a romantic comedy about a psychic struggling with her own future, despite her ability to read into everyone else’s. Disheartened with relationships and always foreseeing how things end, Maggie’s life is forever changed when she has a prediction she didn’t see coming.*

## Plot summary

A psychic is hired for a party who breaks up a wedding accidentally. As it turns out, it began when a woman about to get married takes a reading with her best friend and the maid of honor. Except, Maggie sees she started a new relationship with a guy who had monogrammed pillows with the letters “JM” on the bed. Immediately, the bride-to-be is enraged that, of course, her maid of honor must be sleeping with her fiancé because he has the same initials. That’s when things turn weird for Maggie. At the party, she meets a guy name Ben, and they have some adorable banter. When he brings over a bottle of tequila, she gives him a reading, and something unexpected happens, because when she sees him falling in love with a woman, it is her.

The next day, Maggie goes to Angel to talk about Ben. As soon as she saw herself, Maggie ran to her car. Angel informs her that it is rare but not impossible for her to see her future. Besides, she shouldn’t be fighting it. She should be excited. Maggie, though, tells Angel that she is awful at relationships. She has the same conversation with her parents Jack and Maria later. She even talks to her best friend, Meg, who likes to use Maggie as her loser reader. Meg wants her psychic friend to come out tonight to see if the new guy is a serial killer or at least good in bed. “His name is Glenn with two N’s. That’s proof he doesn’t know when to finish.”

While that night Meg’s boyfriend turns out to have his own, a guy named Orlando, Maggie predictably runs into Ben. He is out for a drink with his family, and his sister Amy and her husband Dave to celebrate his birthday. They hit it off, and Ben uses his bag of tricks to charm, with jokes about how to not blow out a candle, and later asks him over to eat old Chinese food in bed incorrectly using chopsticks. They talk and kiss each other casually like they have been dating for years.

After spending the night together, Maggie seems to have given herself over to the fact she is falling for Ben and trusting her vision. As they drink coffee, Ben grabs her hand, and she sees him marrying another woman. She immediately breaks up with him because she is never wrong. He in turn is crushed.

Thus, Maggie moves on, but some time later, her parents finally find a better tenant in their building. And that new tenant is Ben and his girlfriend, Jessie .

## Trivia

* The series was based on the 2019 short film *Maggie* by Tim Curcio who is also involved in the Hulu Original series.
* On May 14, 2021, four days before ABC’s upfront presentation, the network made its first new scripted series pickups for the 2021-22 season, with nods to music-themed drama *Queens* and comedies *The Wonder Years*, *Maggie* and *Abbott Elementary*.
* However, by January 24, 2022 single-camera comedy series *Maggie*, which was originally picked up by ABC for the 2021-22 season, was revealed to now have moved to Hulu, where it will stream exclusively in the U.S. as a Hulu Original. The decision, underscores the blurring of the lines between linear and streaming at the major media companies, and was made in order to get *Maggie* in front of audiences instead of keeping it on the bench because of a lack of available slots on the network.
