DMV is based on the short story "Chicken-Flavored and Lemon-Scented" from GAMES AND RITUALS by Katherine Heiny

It's about this quirky cast of characters working at a DMV..

The TV show actually captures it pretty well I think.

Loved the book and now the show but I totally get that it's not everyone's cup of tea☕
