There are no actual unicorns in this show (sadly- but there are some cute aliens in the finale, so we'll allow it), it's just one of those rare pieces of art that shows emotional growth, vulnerability, and nurturing love between male friends- Ted Lasso and This Flag Means Death are other good examples. I have been meaning to watch this two-season show forever (it's old- 2015/2016), since I heard the writers, brothers, Mark and Jay Duplass, speak about what it takes to get pas

I KNOW THIS WARNING. I have drafted and d
