Family dynamics. They are a minefield.

And when Oliver brings his new fiancé, Brianna, home to watch the Seahawks game with his family, the culture clash of old Seattle with a California import are on full display.

Will this liberal tech couple survive an afternoon with an abrasive, right-leaning matriarch who believes in Sasquatch, a blue-collar Boeing mechanic, and a bikini barista? Or will "family" be enough to override the microaggressions and flat out aggressions of this explosive afternoon?
