ABCâs newest comedy, âHome Economics,â stars Topher Grace, Caitlyn McGee, and Jimmy Tatro and seemingly tries to tap into Topher Graceâs past sitcom success in his role on âThat 70âs Showâ but fails to reach the same level of excellence. The show has its merits, but ultimately comes across as a lackluster attempt to provide hyper-relevant comedy and levity for 2021.
âHome Economicsâ follows a trio of siblings as they go through adulthood, focusing on each of their struggles while also bringing to light their individual successes. Tom (Topher Grace) is a struggling middle-class author married to the well-off lawyer Marina (Karla Souza). Sarah (Caitlyn McGee) is a working-class woman married to Denise (Sasheer Zamata) who has just been laid off. Lastly, Connor (Jimmy Tatro) is a wildly successful money manager living in (as is often mentioned) Matt Damonâs former house on the San Francisco Bay.
