The show, which was released by Hulu in March 2024 as a binge drop, centered on three gay men “of a certain age” (Lane, Bomer, and Graham) who, after an unexpected death, decide to move in together in a house in Palm Springs.
The show also featured the late Linda Lavin, in one of her final roles, portraying Lane’s mother.
