A breezy, warm family comedy where mild squabbles and secrets unfold over shared meals, easy to dip into.

Overview: Persuaded by the family patriarch, the Shastris come together for weekly Potluck meals, albeit reluctantly.

How it feels: Warm, light, satirical and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Family, parenthood, identity, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
