About
"A legendary comic riffing one last time"
A veteran advertising legend and his more grounded daughter run a Chicago ad agency together, chasing big clients while clashing over how far to push a pitch. The show leans on loose, improv-heavy banter and celebrity cameos rather than tight plotting, so episodes feel like a showcase for its stars riffing. It is warm, silly, and occasionally chaotic, carried almost entirely by charisma rather than story. Best approached as a hangout comedy about family and creative work, not a show with big stakes or arcs.
Watch it for
the loose, improvised chemistry between its two very different leads.
Maybe skip if
you want tight plotting rather than a showcase for star charisma.
