Is there a right way to move on? A recent divorcee faces an entirely new world in “Fleishman Is in Trouble.” The FX on Hulu limited series focuses on one man’s rapidly changing professional and personal life. Navigating the challenges of dating in 2022 takes a backseat after an ex-wife’s surprising decision. ‘Trouble’ is based on the 2019 novel by Taffy Brodesser-Akner and the writer adapts her work for this project. Valerie Faris & Jonathan Dayton are notably executive producers, also helming various episodes.

The series’ official synopsis:
“Fleishman Is in Trouble” is the story of recently divorced 41-year-old “Toby Fleishman” (Jesse Eisenberg), who dives into the brave new world of app-based dating with the kind of success he never had dating in his youth, before he got married at the tail end of medical school. But just at the start of his first summer of sexual freedom, his ex-wife, “Rachel” (Claire Danes), disappears, leaving him with 11-year-old “Hannah” (Meara Mahoney Gross) and 9-year-old “Solly” (Maxim Swinton) and no hint of where she is or whether she plans to return. As he balances parenting, the return of old friends “Libby” (Lizzy Caplan) and “Seth” (Adam Brody), a potential promotion at the hospital that is a long time coming — and all the eligible women that Manhattan has to offer — he realizes that he’ll never be able to figure out what happened to “Rachel” until he can finally face what happened to their marriage in the first place.”
