The Unicorn was a comedy series that aired on CBS from 2019 to 2021. The show followed the life of a recently widowed man named Wade, played by Walton Goggins, who is left to raise his two daughters on his own. After a year of grieving his wife, Wade decides to re-enter the dating world with the encouragement of his friends and family.

Rob Corddry plays Wade's best friend, Forrest, who is happily married with two children of his own. Forrest offers Wade advice and support during his journey to find love again. Meanwhile, Omar Benson Miller portrays Ben, another one of Wade's close friends who is also trying to navigate the dating scene.

The show wasn't just about Wade's search for love, however. The Unicorn also explored the dynamics of friendships and family relationships. Wade's daughters, Grace and Natalie, are an important part of his life, and their struggles with their mother's death and their own personal lives are a recurring theme throughout the series.

Each episode revolves around a different woman that Wade goes on a date with. Some of the dates are more successful than others, but the show doesn't rely solely on Wade's dating life for its humor. The interactions between the characters, particularly the three male friends, are often the funniest parts of the show. Their conversations range from serious topics like grief and parenting to more light-hearted discussions about dating and pop culture.

One of the standout aspects of The Unicorn was how it handled grief. Wade's wife's death was a central part of his character arc, and the show didn't shy away from exploring the impact it had on him and his family. However, the series approached the topic with sensitivity and humor, allowing viewers to laugh and cry along with the characters.

Overall, The Unicorn was a heartwarming and hilarious show that offered a fresh take on the rom-com genre. Its excellent cast and well-written characters made it one of CBS's most beloved sitcoms of the past few years.

The Unicorn is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (31 episodes). The series first aired on September 26, 2019.
