While the concept might pique your curiosity,Stephanie Hsu’s performance keeps you drawn in.

The two actors have great on-screen chemistry, making their banter work even when they hate each other.
Similarly, Ruby’s friendship with Zosia Mamet’s AJ is one of her most important relationships.
A 2024 horror hit and one of the biggest musicals of all time are on the December menu.
What’s important is her relationship with Richie and her new love interest, Isaac (Tommy Martinez).
