Having been in a relationship for either 14 or 22 years (depending on which one of them you ask), whatever Ralph (Jason Stuart) and Randy (Mitch Hara) once felt for one another has gone into hiding, and the romance has lond escaped their life together. So they try couple therapy to save what's maybe already lost, but they just drive one therapist after the other crazy, even when they try more unorthodox methods like "couch therapy (with Pancho Moler) and kids' therapy (with Erika Ervin), crayons included. Eventually, one of their therapists (Scott Krinsky) actually drives them into the arms of a divorce lawyer - but they learn they can't even afford divorce as they owe a small fortune to the IRS. And their way to solve that problem isn't exactly promising ...

Now despite many a (loving) gay joke, this webseries has something very universal to it, as it manages to portray a relationship gone stale in a very amusing way that's totally relatable, no matter whether you're homosexual or heterosexual. And Jason Stuart and Mitch Hara manage to remain very believable in their roles, especially since they don't just aim for cheap jokes but find the truth in their characters - which makes them being thrown in all the pretty hilarious situations depicted all the funnier of course. And a supporting cast obviously in on the joke but playing it fairly straight really help to make this one fun journey for sure.
