About

"A divorce story that flips who's the villain"

After his marriage ends, a mild-mannered doctor named Toby suddenly finds himself back on dating apps in his forties, reeling from a divorce he didn't see coming, while his ex-wife Rachel seems to vanish just as their kids need her most. Told through a friend's wry narration, the show starts as a comic midlife-crisis story and gradually reveals itself to be about something much sadder and more complicated. It's talky, literary, and packed with interior monologue, more interested in dissecting a marriage than resolving one.

Watch it for

the structural gut-punch when the story reveals whose perspective you've actually been missing.

Maybe skip if

you want plot momentum rather than dense interior monologue and shifting perspective.
