Laid was a dry and dark comedy about death and romance. Its US reboot is a polemic that challenges the nature of modern love.

is one of those very clever television ideas. Written by Australian screenwriter Marieke Hardy back in 2011, it is the story of a young woman who realises that her past lovers are starting to die one by one, and must begin piecing together her sexual past to unravel the mystery of what is going on.

And while the series is not itself designed to make bold and profound observations about the parlous state of dating in 2024, both Bradford McKenna and Khan concede the audience can draw some very accessible conclusions from the series.

We never want it to be like, ‘Oh my god, look how many partners I had’.“But you also have that moment of looking at your past and being confronted with it and having to look back at it’s, not the number, not the quantity, but oh god, I didn’t treat that guy very well, or whatever happened with her? So we kind of tried to walk that line.
