The series explores the precarity of middle age as Alex juggles her relationships with her college-aged son, Ruarí, and her declining parents while searching for love and independence. Horgan's writing and performance are praised for their ability to write and play complex, selfish, and self-sabotaging characters that resonate with audiences. The show delves into themes of aging, relationships, and the struggles faced by adults navigating life's changes, offering both laughter and poignant moments.",
