Mel can’t seem to get out of the rut she finds herself in every day. She’s got a good crew of people at work, including Rory (Conrad Ricamora), who she tools around with on one of those airport golf carts. But then there’s Patti (Michelle McLeod), who’s sure that everyone is out to get herābut she’s going to get them first.
Mel also works with her ex, Alex (Jocko Sims), who she’s clearly still enamored with but has pushed away with her own insecurities. The problem is, Alex is getting married, and an invite has shown up in Mel’s inbox to join the wedding party in Hawaii. While Mel and Rory fantasize about going there to ruin it all, Mel’s fear of flying is standing in the way of any last-minute grand gestures. When her love of IKEA furniture building goes awry and Mel ends up with a head injury, it seems her attitude and even her life are forging a new path.
Rothwell is great in this role that she clearly loves, and her surrounding cast is equally as enjoyable. Light and endearing, this is a bingeable series if there ever was one. (eight approximately 35-min. episodes). Ī
