Featured on Late Night with Seth Meyers: Ben Stiller/Rose Matafeo/Brooke Colucci (2022). Edit* Episode 9 S1 is one of the best TV episodes I’ve ever seen from a television series, it still tells the story but shines so much brighter. And he deserves awards and recognition for it.

And so far I like it
