Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh masterfully navigate the hilarity and heartbreak of caring for an aging, stubborn parent.
Series Analysis:
Richard's return to the nest in Only Child isn't a triumphant homecoming; it's a neurotic collision with his stubborn father, Ken. Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh deliver a masterclass in timing, turning mundane arguments about neighbors into a battle of wills. The series captures that suffocating affection specific to parent-child dynamics, balancing absurdity with the quiet realization that time is slipping away. Following a finale that left the emotional door ajar, the silence regarding a renewal is louder than Ken's complaints. Family duty calls, so adding a reminder for updates is the smartest way to ensure you aren't written out of the will.
