The recent model of three-dimensional massive gravity known as ``Minimal Massive Gravity’’ (MMG) is the simplest known (hence ``minimal’‘) example of a gravitational theory that satisfies basic requirements of both bulk and boundary unitarity in the semi-classical approximation while propagating bulk degrees of freedom. In this talk we will outline how MMG evades the ``bulk/boundary unitarity clash’’ on asymptotically AdS backgrounds and discuss features of the flat-space limit.
