You’re The Worst - Season 5
From Monday 14 January at 11.00pm
You’re the Worst isn’t a typical romantic comedy. The critically-acclaimed series follows narcissistic and stubborn Jimmy Shive-Overly (Chris Geere), who inadvertently finds himself hooking up with cynical, people-pleasing, and self-destructive Gretchen Cutler (Aya Cash), at a mutual friend’s wedding. Despite their shared cynicism about love, both grow closer and become more involved romantically, though their cynicism often gets in the way.
YOU’RE THE WORST is a modern look at love and happiness told through the eyes of two people who haven’t been very successful with either. It’s the story of Gretchen and Jimmy, fear, heartbreak, romance, sex, food, Los Angeles, Sunday Funday, friendship, and the fact that sometimes the worst people make the best partners. An original comedy from writer and executive producer Stephen Falk, YOU’RE THE WORST puts a dark twist on the romantic comedy genre.
Narcissistic, brash, and stubborn Jimmy Shive-Overly (Chris Geere) has inadvertently found himself paired up with cynical, people-pleasing, and self-destructive Gretchen Cutler (Aya Cash). After a whirlwind courtship, and a very rough post-cohabitation period of dealing with Gretchen’s clinical depression, Jimmy and Gretchen were forced to learn how to manage a relationship in the face of tragedy when Jimmy’s father unexpectedly died. Ultimately drawn closer, Jimmy proposed and then suddenly disappeared when confronted with the notion that Gretchen would be his family. After a prolonged period of separation, Jimmy and Gretchen are in it for the long haul now… at least they think they are. Maybe.
Rounding out the cast is Desmin Borges, who plays Edgar Quintero, Jimmy’s once homeless war veteran roommate who, having recently learned to manage his PTSD, is now firmly entrenched in the world of television comedy writing; and Kether Donohue as Lindsay Jillian, Gretchen’s best friend and former partner in crime who, after conquering the corporate world, finds herself yearning for love again.
You’re The Worst will also be fast-tracked to On Demand the minute the broadcast finishes in the US on Thursday the 10 January before hitting VICELAND on the Monday.
