Frances and Bobbi used to be a couple and are now trying to inhabit the less easily defined territory of inseparable friends. Performing poetry together brings them into the orbit of writer Melissa and her husband Nick, and attraction soon reshapes the group’s fragile boundaries. Frances’s bond with Bobbi remains central even as she begins an affair with Nick. The series examines bisexuality, jealousy and the limits of the stories people tell about their own relationships. Its sapphic material belongs to the single season, but viewers should expect a mixed romantic network rather than an exclusively woman-loving-woman love story.
