On Hulu
A warm, irreverent comedy about chosen family and aging, built on affection and banter between three longtime friends navigating mortality and companionship.
Three best friends — gay gentlemen of a certain age – decide after an unexpected death to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.
