the show

A romcom at war with itself.

Misery Loves Company is a vertical romcom — 21 episodes, every one shot for the phone in your hand, every one slamming to black on a cliffhanger.

Kayla is a triple-degreed influencer leading a boycott of all men. Demetris is a Forbes 30-under-30 founder who can't find one thing on this Earth he likes. They are the two most disappointed reviewers on the internet — and they just met over a parking spot.

The universe keeps slamming them together anyway: a coffee-shop robbery, a blind-date dinner, his mother's matchmaking, her father's AI contractor, and one perfectly timed earthquake.

EXT. COFFEE SHOP PARKING LOT — DAY

Kayla

There are unspoken rules in parking lots and you're violating like ten of them right now.

Demetris

You back-in drivers always think the world is supposed to stop because you need to park like you just got finished saving Gotham City.

Kayla

Move. Now.

Demetris

No. Now I HAVE to have this spot. It's the principal.

the setup

One parking spot. Two people who are never wrong.

Kayla runs her life on positive affirmations and a plan. Demetris just got off a long flight and wants his coffee. They meet bumper to bumper outside the same coffee shop — and while they argue over the spot, they miss the actual robbery happening inside.

That's episode one. It gets worse for them. Better for you.

You already know how this ends.
Watch them figure it out.

KAYLA

Dr. Kayla Sotherfield. Three degrees, one Teddy Bearista mug, a million followers who agree with everything she says. Backs in.

vs.

DEMETRIS

Forbes 30 under 30 and still can't get a date. Private, patient, married to the business. Noses in.

They're also the internet's two most disappointed reviewers. They don't know that yet either.

Catty562

Negative reviewer of the year, 3 years running — dethroned

“This coffee shop just lets anyone come in and stink up the place!”

Yelpstar007

Current negative reviewer of the year — took the crown

“This coffee shop and its CATTY patrons SUCK!”

Posted forty seconds apart, from the same sidewalk. Yelp soulmates.

who's who

The company.

TAMEKA

Kayla's best friend

The designated voice of reason. Sees exactly what's happening before anyone else does — and says the line the whole show is named after.

MICHELLE

Demetris's mother

Sweet, sharp, fighting an illness, and absolutely done waiting on a daughter-in-law. Accidentally tries to matchmake her son with the one woman who can't stand him.
