Newly divorced public relations executive Alex (Hank Azaria) can barely keeps things together. His co-worker, Helen (Kathryn Hahn), has convinced herself she has it all together, but she is actually obsessed with her late fiance. After a night of drinking, the two seek comfort in bed together -- leading to a casual (and, unsurprisingly, awkward) relationship between the two. Alex's boss, Stephen, is worried about his employee's emotional stability but needs him to focus on his work. Alex's pals include bachelor Dan, who is in search of a wingman, and nerdy Gregg, the lone husband in the bunch.

Critics Consensus

Free Agents' humor is nasty and bitter, with little to like about its characters and a lack of chemistry between the actors playing them.

Free Agents shows promise in its ability to not really be a comedy, not really be serious, and not really be another workplace show. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Jul 2, 2018
Despite its flaws, Free Agents manages to deliver some decent laughs and is worth a try. Go to Full Review Lily Moayeri Under the Radar May 11, 2018
