Gidi is a 50-year-old former combat officer trapped in a life that no longer feels like his own. Stuck in a loveless marriage, drifting through a secure military career, and increasingly disconnected from his family, everything changes when he is mistakenly diagnosed with a terminal illness. Believing he has only months to live, Gidi abandons caution and begins living without fear of the consequences. Freed from the expectations that have defined him for decades, Gidi tears apart the life he carefully built. He quits his job, splurges on his dream Porsche, burns bridges with friends and family, and embraces the exhilarating freedom of a man with nothing left to lose. But just as he begins to feel truly alive, he discovers the diagnosis was wrong. Perfectly healthy and left to face the wreckage of his impulsive decisions, Gidi finds rebuilding his life is far more difficult than destroying it. Unable to let go of the compassion, purpose and connection his illness brought him, Gidi continues the lie. As his deception spirals, it reignites his relationship with his wife, earns forgiveness from old friends and opens doors he never imagined, while pushing him ever closer to an inevitable reckoning. Cast into an unfamiliar world of divorce, dating apps, career reinvention and shifting social norms, Gidi must confront the uncomfortable realities of ageing, masculinity and identity as he struggles to become the man he always wanted to be. Blending sharp comedy with heartfelt drama, Reset is a warm, character-driven dramedy about second chances, self-discovery and the messy reality of starting over. Created by International Emmy-winning writer and comedian Adir Miller, the series pairs a brilliantly original premise with a deeply relatable story about regret, redemption and the courage to embrace life before it's too late.
