'Dying for Sex,' TV Show Review
The ride is so, SO worth the hard emotions and even in the final most devastating moments, the characters are fucking hilarious. Like, shockingly, bawdily funny. These are the friends who can't be allowed to sit next to each other at serious events because they'll giggle and misbehave and it's a pleasure to watch them sit together through the MOST serious thing that could happen and giggle and misbehave.
