A single, working actor with no filter raising her three daughters, Max, Frankie and Duke in Los Angeles. She's mom, dad, referee and the cops. Sam also watches out for her mother, Phil, an English expatriate, who lives across the street. Sam is flawed and fierce with her love for her daughters, and her own mother as well, sometimes heaping the love on when she feels guilty.

Co-created by Pamela Adlon and Louis C.K., this series follows Sam Fox (Adlon), a single mom and working actor -- with lots of love but no real filter -- who also acts as a dad, referee, and sometimes even the police, raising her three daughters in Los Angeles. She also watches out for her mother, (Celia Imrie), a British expat, who lives across the street. Sam's just trying to earn a living, navigate her daughters' lives, have fun with a friend or two and also -- just maybe -- squeeze in some private time once in a while.
