About
Not for you if you want fast plot momentum or clear rom-com payoffs, since Drinking Buddies leans into slow, realistic relationship mess like Jack Goes Boating or Digging for Fire.
Pros: realistic adult relationships; improvised dialogue; heartfelt performances | Cons: slow, little happens; boring pacing; weak plot
