Unstable synopsis: What is the Netflix series about?

The Lowe-led show will feature a total of eight, half-hour episodes that explore the relationship between father and son, Ellis (Rob Lowe) and Jackson (John Owen Lowe), respectively. Ellis is an eccentric biotech entrepreneur trying to improve the world while being in an “emotional free-fall,” per the synopsis. His estranged son Jackson is the complete opposite. When his dad needs help with his company, Jackson steps in to help. But will he be able to do so while escaping the shadow of his “larger-than-life-father?”

The trailer reveals Ellis’ big personality, the fact that the father and son haven’t talked to each other since Ellis’s wife and Jackson’s mother passed away, and how the duo’s relationship works. Check out the video below:
