What the hell was going on?
Get this: A gender-swapped reboot of Gilligan’s Island.
What is it? A television comedy-drama based on the classic comedy of the same name.

What is it? A weekly TV drama—set in a fictional Ocean City, Delaware—about Ethan McKean, a cynical but obsessively ethical college kid with Asperger syndrome, and Emma Rodney, a popular daughter of Ocean City aristocracy who partners with him to solve a local cold case. In the wake of their success, Emma sees analytical genius in Ethan and convinces him to open a detective agency.
