About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, heartfelt dramedy about friendship, regret, and mental health, with biting humor and emotional punches; Not for you if suicide-related stories or abrupt tonal shifts are dealbreakers, like in Kidding.
Pros: dark humor with heart; strong chemistry; sharp dialogue | Cons: heavy subject matter; uneven tone shifts; rough around edges
