故事是这样的：妻子突然离世后，中年男人菲利普不得不独自拉扯两个半大孩子——正处在叛逆期的女儿和懵懂的小儿子。 :D。同样讲家庭琐事，它不像《成长的烦恼》那样每个笑点都精准卡位，反而带着英剧特有的笨拙和冷场——比如尼古拉斯·林德赫斯特被母亲用一句漫不经心的毒舌噎到沉默，那种尴尬比罐头笑声真实得多。它最特别的地方在于——把丧偶这个沉重话题，拍成了充满生活毛边儿的轻喜剧。剧情不靠大吵大闹推进，而是用超市购物清单、学校家长会这类日常小事，一点点撕开家庭成员之间笨拙的关心。尼古拉斯·林德赫斯特演那个老爸，满脸“我太难了”的苦相，特真实；他和前妻（西莉亚·伊姆里）每次碰面，那尴尬又憋笑的气氛，简直绝了。
