Not knowing how to manage this full-time fatherhood, his work at the hospital and his many conquests encountered via apps, the young father reconnects with his two childhood friends, Libby and Seth (Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody).

Social comedy
By taking on the worlds of Woody Allen and Darren Star as well, Taffy Brodesser-Akner succeeds in telling the decomposition of a modern couple against a background of ultra-talkative social comedy.
As in her novel, the author enlightens the viewer on the personality of Rachel by having the character of Libby speak in voiceover, and thus signs a deeply feminist series.
