Based on a series of short films, the dramedy series "This Close" explores the relationship between 20-something best friends Kate, who is newly engaged, and Michael, who is attempting to move on from his ex-fiancé. Universal and relatable themes of love and friendship are touched on throughout the half-hour episodes, which are written by stars Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman -- actual best friends, both of whom are deaf. The ensemble cast includes Cheryl Hines as Kate's boss and Marlee Matlin as Michael's mother, a recovering alcoholic trying to reconnect with her son.

The show is still profoundly informed by the specifics of being deaf, but it's much better at a lot of narrative basics like tone and pacing. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Paste Magazine 09/10/2019

Ultimately, This Close continues to explore the uncertainty of growing up and learning who you are in very grounded and emotional ways, as Season Two leans in more than ever to the idea of how to love yourself, love others, and be loved by others. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
