After nearly a decade as a public radio producer, Shay Goldstein is desperate to host her own show. So when her boss suggests that she and Dominic, a new and annoyingly competent reporter, pose as exes to host a new show on modern relationships, Shay puts aside her ethical concerns and goes for it. The trouble is, the more time she and Dominic spend pretending to be exes, the more they're attracted to one another, which could cause problems for their show.
The relationship between Shay and Dominic is sparkling and wonderful, and I kinda love the idea of a workplace romance in the world of public radio. However, the boss's misogyny and lack of journalistic ethics — he's laying people off from the struggling station, but he can afford to send the co-hosts of a brand-new show on an all-expenses-paid weekend to "get to know one another" (which is also kinda creepy, IMO)? — really gave me pause on this one. However, lots of my colleagues seem to love this, so perhaps that's just my old journalistic tendencies showing through.
