Home Economics

Three grown siblings who were raised together now inhabit very different economic worlds, and the show mines that gap for both laughs and awkward moments. One sibling lives among the ultrawealthy, another keeps a steady middle-class life, and the third is scraping by, and their meetings quickly reveal how money shapes decisions, relationships, and self-worth. Episodes trade between sitcom setups and quieter family scenes, showing how affection, rivalry, and embarrassment coexist when brothers and sisters try to stay connected despite very different priorities and pressures.

Home Economics premiered in 2021 and was created by Michael Colton, John Aboud, and Zac Oyama. The sitcom centers on an ensemble cast led by Topher Grace, Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza, and Sasheer Zamata, and it arrived as a network comedy aimed at balancing humor with topical family issues.

The show has not been a major awards contender, and it hasn’t collected high-profile wins from ceremonies like the Emmys or Golden Globes. It has attracted attention from some critics and fans, but large-scale awards recognition has been limited.

Among viewers the series prompted conversations about class differences and how those differences show up at family gatherings. Certain scenes and character beats have been shared on social media, helping the show build a steady online audience that appreciates the mix of awkward humor and domestic truth. That fan engagement kept discussions about economic anxiety and parenting styles in casual pop culture conversation.

Critical response has been middling to positive, reflected in a user vote average of 6.565 out of 10 from 46 votes, and reviewers often highlighted the chemistry among the cast. Many viewers like how it treats wealth and insecurity as ongoing, sometimes funny problems rather than simple punchlines, though some critics found the tonal shifts uneven. Overall, the show focuses on class, sibling loyalty, modern parenthood, and the small humiliations and comforts that keep a family connected.
