“A feel-good romantic comedy/drama. Television stalwarts Sarah Drew and Seamus Dever create a nice Hepburn/Tracy-like chemistry in their verbal sparring…As the characters discuss infinity, divorce, probability, and lost dreams, there is a very Mid-American sense that if one can successfully navigate high-minded science, a little romance, and getting the kids off to school, second chances might be just around the corner. Fun, mathematically minded audio drama.”
