The series centres around parents Pete and Sue Brockman who navigate the rollercoaster of parenting their three exuberant children: Jake, Ben and Karen. Over the course of five seasons, viewers watch the children go from toddlers to young adults, capturing the essence of growing up. The show aims to offer an authentic portrayal of family life by incorporating semi-improvised dialogue from the children played by Tiger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez. This unique style is a significant aspect of the show’s relatability and is what has captured the hearts of viewers of all ages.
