The series itself opens with a simple premise: The Big Show's teenage daughter from a previous relationship moves to Tampa, Florida to live with him, his wife, and their two other daughters. Naturally, hijinks ensue when the family is forced to cope with their new and more closely acquainted living arrangements.
Meanwhile, Big Show (who appears as himself) attempts to readjust to life after the ring, having retired from the WWE in search of normalcy. Jaleel White a.k.a. Steve Urkel plays Show's best friend in the series and former WWE legends, including Steve Austin, Rikishi, and Mick Foley also make an appearance, in addition to an unexpected cameo from Queer Eye's Tan France.
And in a time when we're all probably binge-watching more than ever, viewers are taking to the show with mixed feelings (judging by social media, that is).
