Uncoupled synopsis

Here’s the official synopsis via Netflix Media Center below:

"Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) seems to have it all figured out. He’s a successful New York City real estate agent with a great career, a supportive family, close friends, and a loving relationship with his partner of 17 years, Colin (Tuc Watkins). But when Colin unexpectedly moves out on the eve of his 50th birthday, Michael is completely blindsided. Overnight, he has to confront two nightmares: losing the man he thought was his soulmate, and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City."

Based on this synopsis, it looks like we’ll be going through an array of emotions watching this series. We can’t wait to see Harris and Watkins take on their roles as ex-spouses and see how the other characters will play a part in the series.
