Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hooking Up is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Hooking Up from the crowd. Bailey and Darla embark upon a misguided and mutually deceitful form of therapy, one in which they must drive across the country, re-enacting Darla's colorful history as a sex addict. As their true motivations for the road trip come to light, the unlikely pair force one another to confront their issues, discovering that there might actually be more to love than just sex. Between them, Sam Richardson and Brittany Snow carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 2020. What keeps Hooking Up from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Hooking Up is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Sam Richardson sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
