About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like relationship comedies where polite surfaces hide simmering tension and one outsider upends everything; Not for you if you want calm, feel-good stories or tidy resolutions like Gemma Bovery.
Pros: sharp social comedy; messy human emotions; unpredictable disruptions | Cons: uncomfortable behavior; tense family conflict; not very subtle
