About

"Modern dating rendered as literal surreal nightmare"

After a brutal breakup, twentysomething Josh reenters the dating world with help from his more experienced sister and eternally unemployed best friend. The show's hook is that every awkward, humiliating, or absurd dating scenario gets rendered literally: exes become literal monsters, dates turn into surreal fantasy sequences, breakups spiral into apocalyptic set pieces. It's a sketch-comedy brain wearing a sitcom's skeleton, fast and weird and unpredictable. Some episodes are inspired, others just odd. Carried by game performances and a genuine willingness to go anywhere for a joke.

Watch it for

the fearless surrealist premise that turns dating anxieties into literal, absurd fantasy sequences.

Maybe skip if

you prefer grounded, realistic relationship comedies over sketch-style absurdism.
