Matt Roush says...
It was a short but sweet run for Ryan O’Connell, creator and star of the disarming comedy that offers its second and final batch of episodes. O’Connell stars as Ryan, a gay man with mild cerebral palsy who has created roadblocks in his relationships with his over-caring mother, Karen (Jessica Hecht), and his bestie Kim (Punam Patel). Ryan’s journey of self-discovery includes overcoming writer’s block and pursuing a relationship with fun-loving dance instructor Tanner (Max Jenkins).
