Set it Up * Netflix Original

All hail the return of the Romantic Comedy in this Netflix original Set it Up starring Zoe Deutsch and Glen Powell.  We've got all the old favorites, the New York City setting (How to Lose a Guy), the snappy dialogue (You've Got Mail), the overworked assistant (Devil Wears Prada).



Harper and Ben are the respective overworked assistants to Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs.  Since they have to stay late every night, they have no life.  When they Meet-Cute, they determine they should set their bosses up so the bosses will be interested in something other than work and Harper and Ben can get some rest and have a better life.

What's different:  the woman is a brunette and the male is a blond.  A diverse cast.   Some good lines:  "You'll just swoop in with your lacrosse stick", "while they're busy boning", "overdicked it", "and yet", "Cyrano-ed".
