Fam

The series follows Clem, a young woman whose seemingly perfect life is upended when her charismatic but unreliable father unexpectedly reappears after years of absence. He brings with him his new, much younger wife and his expectations for Clem to help them financially. Clem struggles to balance her own aspirations and relationships with the sudden demands of her father's life, leading to comedic and often chaotic situations.
