They grow up so fast.

Comedy

Brennan Huff and Dale Doback might be grown men. But that doesn't stop them from living at home and turning into jealous, competitive stepbrothers when their single parents marry. Brennan's constant competition with Dale strains his mom's marriage to Dale's dad, leaving everyone to wonder whether they'll ever see eye to eye.

VIBE

This is a riotously absurd and juvenile comedy, reveling in the cringe-inducing antics of overgrown man-children. It's a relentless barrage of quotable lines and escalating ridiculousness, delivering a specific brand of chaotic, often uncomfortable, humor. Expect a steady stream of laughs from its unique blend of immaturity and surprising heart.
