    Good watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend if you can handle a medical emergency adventure. If you've seen "A Fault in Our Stars", this has a similar vibe for a lot of it. I'm a fan of Kumail Nanjiani, and I like Emily Gordon more, I'm honestly a little disappointed she didn't star in her own story…
