What is The Drama about?
A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
An earnest, darkly comic romance unravels with witty, dry humor as a wedding week spins out of control.
Romantic and melancholy, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Max.
