Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Adults who liked Sharon Horgan's earlier shows will feel at home with this bawdy midlife comedy. Alex's jaw locks up in a work meeting and a doctor blames age, a brush-off that keeps coming back as her body and her dating life change. Horgan plays her blunt and funny. A bodice-ripper novel by a very old author gives the office scenes as many laughs as the dates.
Before you start
The first two episodes arrive together, then one a week, so the opening is easiest to watch as a double bill.
1 season, 8 episodes, 30 min each, about 4 hours so far
