Andrew (Ben Feldman) works at at dating app company Wallflower with his best friend Stu (Henry Zebrowski). He's a romantic. Zelda (Cristin Milioti) is a lawyer whose best friend co-worker Stephie (Lenora Crichlow) sign up to a horrible date. They fall for each other. They date but they've met before. It seems that they're just meant to be. The premise is that they date for eight months, three weeks, five days, and one hour. Each episode is a letter from A to Z with narration from Katey Sagal.

I like both lead actors and the lead characters. They are cute together and have good chemistry. Their wacky best friends are functional. This is a reasonable romantic sitcom but it should be much better. The premise is silly but what annoyed me more is the start of every show. Pushing the title from A to Z feels manufactured and Katey Sagal should probably not narrate the same opening over and over again. It's tiresome like some writer trying to copy the tone of '(500) Days of Summer'. It's manufactured because 8 months is setting up something to happen at the end of the season. It's too forced.
