Laid

Matt Roush says...

A warped romcom with a macabre death wish, this eight-part comedy (based on an Australian format), available as a binge-watch, stars Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Ruby, a self-absorbed Seattle party planner whose sexual history takes on the shadings of a tragic farce when she discovers that all of her former bed partners are dead or in danger of dying. Is it a creepy coincidence, a curse or karma? Girls’ Zosia Mamet costars as her BFF who’s obsessed with Ruby’s sex timeline, with Michael Angarano as a former flame who believes there’s something wrong with her: “You’re the worst person I ever met, and I host trivia.”
