Fleishman Is in Trouble TV series preview
Recently divorced, Toby Fleishman thought that he’s finally free from the pressures of marriage and family life. Taking advantage of his freedom, he decides to delve into the brave new world of app-based dating to pursue new relationships, something he’s surprised to do so well since graduating from medical school and getting married. He also reconnects with his old friends, Libby (Lizzy Caplan) and Seth (Adam Brody).
However, on the first summer of his sexual freedom, his life turns upside down when his ex-wife suddenly disappears, leaving him with their two kids. In order to understand where Rachel (Claire Danes) went, he has to look back on where their marriage could have gone astray.
Along with his old friends Libby and Seth, Toby navigates his new life, figures things out as he goes along, and examines whatever happened to his marriage that ultimately leads to where he is now. More importantly, the series also covers every aspect that we know to comprise life, such as ambition, career, jealousy, love, resentment, and more.
Headlined by a brilliant trio of stars playing complex characters, Fleishman Is in Trouble delivers a great analysis of these characters, providing compelling insight into how they operate as individuals riddled with flaws.
