Single Parents

Single Parents is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the UK on Disney Plus, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Taran Killam — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

There is a reason Single Parents keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Single Parents from the crowd. A group of single parents lean on each other to help raise their 7-year-old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood. The chemistry Taran Killam and Leighton Meester bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It ran for 2 seasons (2018–2020), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The timing in Single Parents is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Single Parents is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to One Day at a Time are real, though Single Parents carves out its own identity quickly. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Taran Killam is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Single Parents was cancelled in 2020, created by J. J. Philbin and Elizabeth Meriwether — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
