Ten part comedy drama. Despite going out with new boyfriend Will Sharpe, Megan Stalter (Hacks) cannot get over her former boyfriend. So when we get to that downer episode five, in which the former couple's relationship over the years is detailed, and we learn what an utter cunt he is, it suddenly makes no sense at all why she is still so obsessed by him. It's the anger she feels that is unexpiated.
With Michael Zegen, Richard E Grant, Rita Wilson, Lena Dunham, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Prasanne Puwanarajah, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Janicza Bravo. And Rita Ora, Stephen Fry, Jennifer Saunders, Andrew Scott. Liked Oliver Nirenberg as the kid who is the only sane one in Stalter's family.

Not sure taking too many drugs is funny any more, either. Was it ever? Ah, but it does fit in to the plot. So that makes sense.
I felt that there was too much dialogue in many episodes, extended talking, boring. Overall though it was reasonably good. From the 'aren't we all messed up for various reasons' school. And possibly English male Felber and American female Dunham are expressing themselves through the characters' relationship.
