The wealthy town of Westport, Conn., is full of cookie-cutter mommies and their seemingly perfect offspring, but the members of the Otto family can't be counted among them. Confident housewife Katie Otto shares a home with her husband, Jeff, and their three children Taylor, Harrison and Anna-Kat, and while she loves them all dearly, she recognizes they probably aren't going to land themselves in a magazine spread anytime soon. The matriarch knows her family is beautifully flawed, and she's far from sorry.

Sam M. Dec 21 I thought this season just fell flat. They got rid of Anna-Kat and replaced her? (Rotten Tomatoes won’t let me say any more about Anna-Kat’s replacement because it goes against guidelines but just know I didn’t like the replacement :D). I get that shows sometimes have to give a bit of a cliffhanger to the show to give it more viewership of they get another season, but they went a little bit overboard for this ending. (SPOILERS AHEAD) They ended it with Franklin promising to someday marry Anna-Kat, Oliver not wanting to go to college (which was his motivation the whole ENTIRE show but I digress), Katie’s pregnant, and Taylor and Trip are getting married. Jeez! And then they didn’t get renewed so you’re just left sitting there. Leaving it to your own imagination to picture what happens next. I don’t know if this season had different writers or something, but it just didn’t feel the same for me. See more Tamara-Leigh B 11/13/2024 Just finished all seasons and I really enjoyed this series! It was funny, had some decent jokes and I was hooked from the first episode Season 5 for me personally didn’t go great for me. Anna Kat being re casted wasn’t a good fit, just didn’t seem to work as well as I had already got adjusted to the previous actor Overall, was a good series, I would recommend it. Unsure if it would re watch it again See more karlosest 07/21/2023 Amazing comedy to watch See more Read all reviews
