Exes & Ohs, television’s first-ever scripted dramedy about lesbians, is a breakthrough half-hour series that’s been described as Sex and the City meets Ally McBeal. It has humor, it has heart, and – of course – it has lesbians.

Set in Seattle, the series follows the ups and downs of five lesbian friends. At the center of the group is Jennifer Butler, a smart, single documentary filmmaker with a vivid fantasy life (which we see) and a floundering career (which we also see). Jennifer just wants to find Ms. Right… but first she must navigate the various rules of lesbian life, most of which she learns the hard way – and each of which she shares with the viewer.

Fortunately, Jennifer’s surrogate family is always there to help. They include: Sam, her best friend, a sexy commitment-phobe who flips real estate almost as fast as she flips women; Chris and Kris, a long-term lesbian couple who are trying to start a family even as they expand their online pet accessory business; and Crutch, a young singer/songwriter who wants to be taken seriously by the rest of the group but first has some growing up to do.

Together, this tight-knit group of friends helps each other survive singlehood, couplehood… and one another.
