Description

Rob and Roberta are housemates and best friends, though everyone admits that the friendship is slightly…uneven. Rob is sardonic, mean and callous, while Roberta remains patient, kind and overly eager to please just about everyone; Rob has recently been through a bad break-up with a ‘perfect’ woman named Rachel – but what exactly drove them apart? Plain old romantic differences, or something much, much darker?

Meanwhile, two friends of Roberta, Cheeto and Rida, are desperate to tell one another that they love each other: in actual fact, they have both told each other several times, but they always forget due to “intoxication”. Rob and Roberta is kind of like a Woody Allen script crossed with an episode of House, M.D.; a lot of snarking, some romantic hijinks and one incredibly sour man who just needs a hug (or industrial grade therapy).
