Press

Robert Popper's family sitcom has become something of a fixture. It probably writes itself by now, but for all its occasional predictability it remains effortlessly amusing, mainly thanks to the cast's enviable chemistry. Tonight, Adam feebly regresses back to childhood after tonsillitis. But how long can Johnny bear his brother's coddled antics? A trip to Grandma's house is the trigger for the familiar fraternal jousting.

Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 12th August 2016
