Storyline:
Every week they show up... Every week they question their life choices.
In Dinner with the Parents, two brothers — one neurotic and overachieving, the other laid-back and emotionally allergic — reluctantly keep the tradition alive: dinner at mom and dad’s house every single week.
Each meal is a minefield of passive-aggressive questions, wild family tangents, and unfiltered parenting throwbacks that leave the brothers emotionally drained and audiences in stitches.
From surprise guests to childhood secrets that won’t die, Dinner with the Parents is about enduring family with a fork in one hand and trauma in the other.
Because no matter how old you are... your parents can still ruin your appetite.
