An aspiring music journalist lands her dream job and is about to move to San Francisco when her boyfriend of nine years decides to call it quits. To nurse her broken heart, she and her two best friends spend one outrageous last adventure in New York City.
Someone Great is a competent, warmhearted Netflix romcom elevated by genuine chemistry among its three leads and a refreshingly Black female protagonist at its center. The plot follows a familiar heartbreak-plus-girls-day formula without much structural surprise, and the cinematography is functional but unremarkable for a streaming production. Its novelty is limited — the premise recalls numerous 'one wild day in the city' films — though the specific cultural voice and soundtrack curation add some personality. The ending lands emotionally if predictably, offering satisfying closure without subverting expectations.
