My Roommate's Girlfriend

Tasting notes

Nate lives with Ben, a decent guy, and, most weekends, with Ben's girlfriend Sadie, who stays every weekend and insists Nate is insufferable. Nate's theory: Ben is far too sweet for her, and deep down she agrees. Episode 1 is morning-after sparring, a thin wall, a smirk in a towel and an invitation that isn't quite an invitation. Episode 2 jumps to the dead of night, a kitchen and a late drink that isn't about thirst, with Ben asleep in the next room while Sadie and Nate dare each other to speak plainly.

Flavor profile

A rivalry that doubles as flirting. Sadie rolls her eyes while Nate says out loud what she keeps quiet, and the line being crossed is a roommate's trust. The free episodes keep to dares, innuendo and a kitchen nobody quite uses for cooking.

Allergy advice Contains: morning-after sarcasm, bare feet on kitchen tile and one man's alarming confidence. May contain traces of a nice guy's blind spot.

Best enjoyed For nights when you suspect the loudest person in the room is also the one with the better line.
