Witty, wild and weirdly relatable: why 'Single Parents' hits home
The cast of Disney+'s family-friends series, "Single Parents". Image: Instagram. If you thought raising kids was a walk in the park, then get ready for the rollercoaster ride that is "Single Parents" on Disney+. This series plunges viewers into the chaotic yet hilarious reality of modern parenthood, where laughter is the ultimate remedy for daily mayhem. With a cast that feels like your own quirky circle of friends, the show captures the relatable struggles of juggling child-rearing responsibilities while trying to keep your personal life from spiralling out of control. At the helm is Will Cooper, played by Taran Killam. Cooper's world turned upside down when his wife opted for a life on the road, leaving him in charge of their daughter, Sophie. And if you thought that was tough, just wait till you meet the rest of the single-parent ensemble. There's Angie (Leighton Meester), a stressed out paralegal trying her best to stay afloat with her son Graham; Poppy (Kimrie Lewis), a sommelier trying to sip her way through parenting with her son Rory; Douglas (Brad Garrett), a widowed dad navigating fatherhood while holding onto some rather dubious ideologies, and Miggy (Jake Choi), a fresh-faced, 20-year-old attempting to balance fatherhood with his DJ ambitions after being left high and dry by his baby mama.

Together, this band of single parents forms a supergroup forged by their shared bonds of frustration and exhaustion. What makes "Single Parents" a breath of fresh air is its refreshing approach towards the digital age of family life. The show avoids the pitfalls of crude humour and excessive adult themes. Instead, it finds its charm within the laughter that comes from sheer absurdity and the sassiness of the couple envy every single parent feels. Yes, it gets cheesy at times, but isn't that what life, and parenthood, is all about? The writing is smart, funny and often heart-warming, showing that perhaps sometimes kids are the ones imparting life lessons while parents are just along for the laughs.

Whether it's the hilarity of a poorly executed school pick-up or the cringeworthy misadventures in the dating world, "Single Parents" embodies that age-old adage: it takes a village to raise a child. As you binge through the episodes, expect a hearty mix of genuine community support and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being a single parent. The moments shared between the parents highlight the joys and trials of parenthood and remind viewers that people can band together, creating their own family out of friendship and shared experiences.
