The Fight

Nov 27, 2016

Chris and Beth have been together for over 5 years and have a great relationship. However, one facebook status update later from an old college friend who went from 'in a relationship' to 'engaged' spirals the night from light and easy into a blowout discussion about who they are and where they're going. Raising more questions about their future than solving their problems, 'The Next Steps' will you leave picking sides and saying to yourself 'I've been there.'

Overview

Comedy

First comes love. Then comes...something. "The Next Steps" follows the relationship of the unmarried couple of Chris and Beth as they face the ups and downs of a long term relationship, stuck in a rut.

Cultural

The show premiered the same year as 'Broad City' but got buried in the 'Girls' comparison discourse, unfairly limiting its audience.
