About this show

"Whitney" is a hilarious look at modern day love, which centers around Whitney (Whitney Cummings, "Chelsea Lately") and Alex (Chris D'Elia, "Glory Daze"), a happily unmarried couple. Together for three years, the duo is in no rush to get hitched, which seems to get a mixed response from their friends. Whitney's close circle of girlfriends includes on one side: Lily (Zoe Lister-Jones, "The Other Guys", a romantic idealist who loves being in love, and on the other: Roxanne (Rhea Seehorn, "The Starter Wife", a recent divorcee who is practical, cynical, and dreading being single again. Lily and Roxanne's opposing points of view only exacerbate Whitney's own complicated outlook on relationships. Completing their close-knit group is Neal (Maulik Pancholy, "30 Rock"), a real modern day Renaissance man -- sensitive, cool and knows a little bit about everything and happens to be dating Lily. On the other end of the spectrum is Whitney and Alex's next-door neighbor Mark (Dan O'Brien, "How I Met Your Mother"), a police officer and total bachelor, who claims to be the ultimate player, but likes to talk a good game. At the end of the day, Whitney and Alex try to have a relationship on their own terms -- in a world that expects a more traditional approach.

It's 2020 and most all of us are under the "Stay-in-place" order due to Covid-19 so I was looking for stuff to watch and found this show thru Google Play. I never saw it originally and I love it. Funny cast with interesting characters, and clever writing. It really is too bad they didn't last a few more seasons. .
