A (romantic) comedy series about the team who works at Baddies — a dating app using behavioral science to undo their bad rap, beat the competition, oh and help people find love. If they can figure it out for themselves first.
Elle, a young behavioral scientist got her dream job at Baddies (the dating app where she found love), working with renowned behavioral scientist/cynic Liam. A romantic, Elle believes in sparkly love, until everything she thought she knew about it comes crashing down. So now she has to start over to understand what love really is. Plus, it’s her job.
If everything she thought she knew about love was wrong, maybe the problem is she needs to gather more data — do more REAL field research. But trying to understand love just leads to more questions. By the end of the series, the team learns that the data doesn’t always make sense… just like love.
