Description
A hilarious investigation of the pleasures, perils and absurdities of modern relationships from one of our sharpest comedic voices.
People today have more romantic options than at any point in human history, and thanks to social media, smartphones and online dating, our ability to connect with these options is staggering. Yet we also have to face absurd new dilemmas, such as what to think when someone doesn't reply to your text but has time to post a photo of a pizza on Instagram.
While Aziz Ansari has long aimed his comedic insight at modern relationships, here he teams up with sociologist Eric Klinenberg to research dating cultures from Tokyo to Buenos Aires to Paris. The result is a hilarious tour of the romantic landscape.
