Plot

In the comedic whirlwind that is Parents, Jenny Pope, a once domineering business maven, finds herself jobless after an ill-tempered punch at a colleague. Meanwhile, her husband Nick, unemployed yet adventurous, has gambled their entire nest egg on a dubious business venture. Their tranquil London life crumbles in a single day, compelling them and their adolescent children, Sam and Becky, to make a drastic relocation up north - right into the welcoming arms of Jenny's parents, Len and Alma. Billed as a brief respite, this move soon spirals into a chaotic, hilarious, and often heartwarming cohabitation of three generations under a single roof. Len and Alma, who thought they had bidden farewell to the days of parenting, now find their retirement disrupted. Jenny and Nick, who had relished their independence from parental oversight, are suddenly thrust back into the world of parental curfews and unsolicited advice. Sam and Becky, caught in the crossfire, must navigate the trials and tribulations of adolescence with a pair of parents and grandparents who have wildly contrasting ideologies on child rearing. Parents is a rapid-fire comedy, a vivid portrait of a family both at odds and in unison, a testament to the trials, joys, and absurdities of multi-generational living.
