This ensemble comedy follows some single parents as they lean on each other to help raise their 7-year-old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood. When the parents in the group meet Will, a 30-something guy who's been so focused on raising his daughter that he's lost sight of who he is as a man, they see just how far down the rabbit hole of PTA, parenting and princesses he has gone. The friends decide to band together to get him out in the dating world and make him realize that being a great parent doesn't mean sacrificing everything about his own identity.

Audience Member I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I hadn't heard of it, but stumbling upon it was such a blessing! The casting is fantastic, even down to the kids. I love how most of the main characters have almost nothing in common to start, but they build these really beautiful, complex, and often hilarious relationships with one another as they bond over single parenthood. When I got to the finale of season 2 & then found out the show had been cancelled I was DEVASTATED!!! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show! I think the premise is great. Hits all the spots! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really hope ABC chooses to pick this show up for the third season! The whole will-they-wont-they with Will and Angie has too much to offer! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
