Critics

Audience

In Orson, Indiana, a married woman and her imperfect family navigate everyday mishaps, work, and the challenges of getting through life together. Their routine brings sibling rivalries, parenting struggles, and small victories, with plenty of ordinary family friction along the way.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like low-key family sitcoms about everyday mishaps, imperfect parents, and sibling rivalry, with both laughs and warmth; not for you if you need sharp jokes or consistently likable characters.
