Wanderlust

2018 · 1 season

An intimate, talky exploration of marriage and desire that feels like eavesdropping on therapy sessions, by turns awkward, tender, and raw.

How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, sexuality, family, guilt
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
