As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed countless plot twists and unexpected turns in virtual worlds, I must admit that the premise of “Laid” piques my curiosity like no other. Having traversed the labyrinths of gaming narratives, I’ve learned to appreciate the unique and the unconventional. The idea that a character’s past relationships are somehow lethal is not only intriguing but also presents an opportunity for a fresh take on the rom-com genre.

In a breakup, when someone says “it’s not you, it’s me,” it often feels insincere and like they’re merely blowing smoke. However, in the case of Ruby from the latest dark comedy series Laid on Peacock, she genuinely means it – the issue lies with her, not you.

The broadcaster has unveiled a sneak peek and the launch date for an upcoming series, titled “Laid,” which is set to premiere on December 19, 2024. This intriguing show will feature Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet as AJ, their portrayal of best friends promises an engaging watch. You can catch all 8 episodes exclusively on Peacock during the festive season. So, get ready to stream this exciting series over your Christmas break!

In essence, the problem with Ruby lies in the peculiar manner of deaths that her past partners have experienced. This sets off a journey for her to uncover the truth behind these strange occurrences, with AJ by her side for assistance. Moreover, it’s crucial that those involved receive a heads-up about what might transpire next. Here’s the official synopsis and teaser trailer:

A woman finds out her former lovers are dying in unusual ways and must go back through her sex timeline to confront her past in order to move forward – Laid is a f*cked up rom-com where the answer to why can’t I find love, is there something wrong with me? is a resounding Yes. There is. The problem is definitely you.

Are you as captivated as I am? The synopsis of the show has me already glued to my seat. It’s an intriguing concept that seems somewhat unique compared to the comedies we’re accustomed to these days. I find it quite refreshing that this series might introduce something fresh into the television landscape. To add to my excitement, both Hsu and Mamet are part of the cast, which is fantastic news! With actresses like them collaborating, I can’t wait to see what this production has in store. The show also features Michael Angarano, Tommy Martinez, Andre Hyland, Olivia Holt, David Denman, Finneas O’Connell, Chloe Fineman, Ettore “Big E” Ewen, and John Early.
