Only Child

2024–2026 · 2 seasons

A gentle, wry sitcom about an exasperated son and his stubbornly eccentric dad, warm and quietly touching beneath the bickering.

Overview: Richard's long overdue visit to recently-widowed Ken makes him realize his dad may need a bit more full time help. Not that Ken would agree, of course, but that statement is pretty much true about anything. An eccentric, strong-willed technophobe, Ken is set in his ways, leaving Richard worrying about his dad growing old.
How it feels: Warm, light, melancholic and whimsical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, parenthood, aging, grief
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
