- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Raising Hope, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 8 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
The third time's the charm, they say, and reformed party girl Kate is hoping that's true when she becomes the third wife of a slightly older man, Pete. They fell into each others' arms (literally) at a karaoke bar, and flash forward a year later, Kate finds herself with an instafamily complete with three stepchildren and two ex-wives. But Kate is determined to make this work and become a part of the family no matter what.
