A pair of slackers pushing thirty – a fashion school drop-out and his chancer pal – try to set up a small clothing line, suffering (as they do) through the various ups and downs that fate throws at them, in Ian Edelman’s amiable and pleasingly low-key comedy-drama

Season 1 (2010)

A drama that is seldom dramatic and a comedy without any jokes, this unassuming first season slowly but surely paints a portrait of a number of disparate New Yorkers, creating rounded, likable characters who we soon come to care for, without really taking them anywhere in particular, but the journey – so far, at least – is certainly a pleasant one.
