A Netflix 8 x 30 has Neil Patrick Harris suddenly alone after a 17 year relationship, and how he deals with being single and gay in NYC, where you need a million dollars just to think about living. (The average price of a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan is $2.2 million.) He couples up quite easily, as it happens, but there's problems everywhere: guys who don't use condoms or whose penises are too large or who are too clingy. He navigates all this with the help of close friends Brooks Ashmanskas and Emerson Brooks and work friend Tisha Campbell and client Marcia Gay Harden, who's also recently separated. André de Shields plays the most sympathetic character as a neighbour in the same Gramercy Park apartment (his being worth $2.2 million, as it happens). With Harris's ex Tuc Watkins showing up at the apartment at the end of the season, and Campbell confronting the father of her son, you can be sure there'll be a part two.
Directed by Andrew Fleming, Zoe Cassavetes and Peter Lauer.
