The Robinsons

2005 · 1 season

A gentle, wry sitcom about a man starting over, carried by mild family squabbles and quiet British charm.

Overview: After he's fired from his long-term job, Ed Robinson moves in with his aunt and tries to find both a career that he prefers to the reinsurance business and a steady girlfriend. Efforts of his family—bickering parents Pam and Hector, successful older brother George, and perfectionist sister Vicky—to meddle in his affairs further complicate his life.
How it feels: Light, satirical, warm and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, identity, work, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
