    • Synopsis
    • R&R is a comedic pilot following Robbie and Rachel, codependent twins trying to “make it” in LA. Rachel (a sarcastic, raunchy, gay mess) brings the chaos, and Robbie (a neurotically organized, hopeless romantic with Down syndrome) cleans up the pieces.


      In a typical, yet chaotic, day in their lives, the twins do all the quintessential 20-something things: work horrible service industry jobs, accidentally take laxatives, fill up their gas tank in $10 increments, and of course, start a podcast.


      The pilot (and hopeful future series) is based on creator JJ Herz's relationship with her brother, Griffin, who also has Down syndrome. Offering audiences the chance to laugh with the leads instead of at them, R&R takes preconceptions about queer and disability representation and gives them a big middle finger.
