Standout Aspects

Acting

Lafitte and Macaigne's barely-contained brotherly contempt is delicious.

Writing

Dialogue that finds humor in excruciating silences.

Best for:Solo: When you need to feel better about your own family drama.·Streaming: Late night, wine in hand, embracing the cringe.
Heads up:Emotional: Estranged parent death and unprocessed childhood wounds throughout.
