action

The series follows Dylan, who after a chlamydia infection tries to inform all of his previous sex partners in alphabetical order. His encounters with these women are usually told in flashbacks. In addition, his roommate Luke and his former roommate Evie, who apparently was secretly in love with him for a long time, play a big role in his life. Especially the relationship with Evie is more in the focus of the series, as she is engaged and a love affair between Dylan and her seems hopeless.

reception

The Guardian praises the series for its "infectious concept that ingeniously allows a wide range of embarrassing social situations to be examined". The series was also nominated for two BAFTA Scotland Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Director (TV) .
