A gritty, darkly comic family navigates suburban dysfunction with campy, dryly satirical wit.
Dry wit. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video, Hulu and Tubi (free).
The thing to know: some strong language and some innuendo or implied sex, more than a TV-PG usually carries. Beyond that, nothing scary and no jump scares.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the language.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
