I thought the portrayal of depression felt realistic, but ultimately the use of it as part of the conflict that led to the breakup felt incredibly cliched.
I also appreciated that Ari reflected on her relationship with her mom at the end, and understand the resentment that had built up before her own revelations about her depression and life.
Overall cute, but not quite a hit enough to bring it above 3 stars for me.

Seth and Torrance, the bosses, had their own odd dynamic. They would have moments of self-reflection, even times when they would call out their toxic behavior, but then they would undercut any progress by a) continuing to make the workplace terrible, b) sharing too many personal details, or c) interfering in their employees' personal lives.
I don't know. I think even the sweet moments and positive representation were overshadowed for me by not being on board with the Set It Up/Parent Trap storyline.
