Wyatt Fields (Justin Cunningham) is happily married, Anthony Holmes (Aaron Jennings) is a hard-working accountant and vegan, and his roommate Sherm (Carl Tart) is philosophical, but doesn't have a clear direction in life. Rounding out the cast is Fay (Grasie Mercedes) who is Nicky's friend, newly divorced.The series ran for two seasons before being canceled in 2023. | |

Genre Savvy: As a die-hard fan of rom-coms, Noah is always on the lookout for a Meet Cute or "sign from the universe." | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Grand Crew / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A recurring theme is how hard it is for the men to express their feelings to each other and sometimes to themselves, which is a common attitude amongst African-American men that the show aims to address. "Wine and Pie" sees Noah and his father finally understanding where each one is coming from after years of non-verbal communication. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Grand Crew / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Sherm, as part of his Genius Ditz character, comes across as The Big Guy but also has a very sensitive palate, can speak Spanish, is a fan of Japanese TV shows including anime, and is a chess master. A running joke with Fay, especially in the episode "Wine & Fire," is her wide range of knowledge and past experiences: she's a former Broadway dancer, an excellent baker, she once lived in a monastery, and she knows German. | |

Voiceover Letter: In the final two episodes of the second season, Noah takes up journal writing, which he reads out loud in voiceover as narration. This includes drawing out words whenever the keys on his laptop get stuck. | |

Local Hangout: In the pilot episode, the group have to leave their favorite bar because Noah broke up with one of the waitresses there. After trying out different places, they settle on a wine bar named Cru, which becomes their main hangout from that moment on. | |

Black Republican: Nicky dates one in the pilot, at first she's disturbed when she finds out but then realizes that she needs to put politics aside. That is, until she hears his opinions on reproductive rights. | |

Old-Fashioned Fruit Stomping | |
| Grand Crew / int_56aeebd0 | comment |
Old-Fashioned Fruit Stomping: When the group go to a vineyard, Noah and Anthony partake in a stomping demonstration. When Noah accidentally drops the number of a woman he just met into the grapes, he is told not to touch them with his hands because that would ruin the integrity of the juice (with Anthony noting the fact that their bare feet are currently in the grapes), so he has to fish it out with his feet. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Nicky is a somewhat reckless partier who likes to live large and didn't even do her taxes before Anthony set her straight. Despite all this, she's shown to be a competent and successful realtor. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Between the four men: Sanguine: Sherm is sort of a slacker, but he's also friendly and extroverted. Choleric: Anthony is goal-oriented and serious about his career, almost to a fault. Melancholic: Wyatt acts as the "dad friend" of the group, and is fussy and a bit uptight. Phlegmatic: Noah is sensitive and sweet, and a hopeless romantic. | |

Sommelier Speak | |
| Grand Crew / int_6a58cb64 | comment |
Sommelier Speak: In "Wine and Tastings", Sherm and Noah take part in a wine tasting competition, with Sherm being able to accurately guess the wine's place of origin just from how it tastes. They make it to the finals, but then Sherm burns his mouth on a crab cake and has to rely on Noah's clumsy description to guess the wine's origin and vintage. They lose, but only because Sherm got the vintage wrong by one year. | |

Minor Flaw, Major Breakup: Played With in the pilot. Nicky's Guy of the Week seems like a Nice Guy and a Sex God, but when she finds out he's a Republican she thinks about breaking up with him, but talking to her friends convince her this is a minor thing not worth breaking up over. Then their next date, she listens to his opinions about reproductive rights and promptly breaks things up, with her friends agreeing in the end it wasn't a minor thing after all. | |

Locked in a Room: Fay locks Noah and his father in a stockroom so they can talk out their differences. She cites the use of this trope on various '80s movies as proof of its effectiveness as a bonding tactic. In The Tag, she does it again with Nicky and Dad. | |
