Overview
- The seven-episode limited series premieres March 1 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
- A darkly comic suburban noir, it follows three middle-aged friends whose use of a local hookup app entangles them in a love triangle that ends in a death, told through a nonlinear police reconstruction.
- David Harbour, Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini and Joy Sunday star, with Richard Jenkins playing a veteran detective; Steven Conrad created, wrote and directed the series.
- Critics who viewed roughly half the season praise the lead trio and the show’s tone but note repetitive investigation scenes and slack pacing in the mystery.
- Harbour and Conrad emphasize the app is a device to explore midlife connection, even as HBO’s marketing leans into the swinging and dating-app premise.
