About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, talky romantic dramedy about messy adult choices and shifting feelings, in the vein of On the Rocks or Gloria Bell; Not for you if you need big laughs or high drama.
Pros: quirky, breezy tone; strong ensemble acting; smart, talky humor | Cons: uneven mix of moods; predictable turns; some side plots drag
