Envious
On Netflix
A witty, character-driven romantic comedy about a woman navigating midlife reinvention through the lens of friendship and self-discovery rather than desperation.
After a devastating breakup, Vicky, almost 40, embarks on a quest for new love, unaware it will lead her to a profound—and hilarious—self-discovery.
