Is it "Laid" as in, you know, the past tense of the vulgar slang for having had sex or "Laid" as in "laid to rest"? On this occasion, both. After her ex-boyfriends start dying at a statistically improbable rate, Stephanie Hsu's Ruby has to revisit her sexual timeline, with friend AJ (Zoysia Mamet), to warn those who are still breathing.
It's streaming on Peacock in the U.S., but if you're away, we'll explain how to watch "Laid" online from anywhere with a VPN.
"Laid" is a remake of a popular 2011 Australian sitcom of the same name, brought up to date and with plenty of stars familiar to an American audience.
As co-showrunners Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna have admitted, they were looking to make a "f****d-up rom-com” for dark times and 'boy meets girl, boy sleeps with girl, boy and girl split, boy dies' on repeat certainly fits that bill.
You'll have to watch it if you want to know what's taking them down but cue several hilarious meet-ups and awkward conversations as Ruby tries to explain to her suddenly alarmed exes that, as she puts it, "You are dying... of me."
Read on and we'll show you how to watch "Laid" online from anywhere.

What else have co-showrunners Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna said about the show?
“When we started to develop Laid, we were intrigued by the idea of bringing back the old-school, traditional romantic comedy, but because we were living in such a dark time, we felt it needed to have some kind of twist... sure, [the show] could be optimistic and heartwarming and make you believe in love again, but it should probably also have suspense and death and blood." And it does. Lots of it.
