This new Sharon Horgan-powered comedy follows three Dublin friends trying to navigate their lives, or rather struggle to get them under control. For Laura (Kerry Condon), that means being sacked as godmother when she sleeps through a christening, while Alison (Eileen Walsh) is so sick of dating she gets back with her ex and agrees to try for a baby. Gloriously deadpan Katie (Nina Sosanya) is on the verge of artificial insemination, but her daughter's father has some big news. So far, so funny.
