You're the Worst is a romantic-comedy series about two toxic, self-destructive people who fall in love. What could go wrong? Despite their cynicism on love, they attempt to make a relationship work. This show is a must-watch that tackles a darker side of rom-coms. You’ll definitely be enthralled as this love story unfolds!
