The Disappointments: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In this darkly comic series, three gay friends in their late 50s are forced to face the fact that their lives have fallen far short of what they imagined for themselves when they were in their 20s. Dreams of wealth, career success, and lasting love have faded, replaced by a growing sense of the clock ticking and an urgent need to turn their disappointing lives around - before they are literally out of time.
