Nick wakes up to find himself in a one night stand from hell.

“Porter Mayfarer, the fish monger?”

This episode serves as the hook for what the audience imagines will be much Mayfarer Family quirkiness and dysfunction to come.  And it’s short!  Which is great—so often, episodes of web series feel too long.

It’s a bare-bones-shot (read: low budget) series, which smartly uses music and titles to signal to the audience that this is indeed a comedy.  Tonally, there really aren’t any jokes; it’s more the situation that the characters find themselves in that yields comedic potential.

Without spoiling anything, Nick finds himself in a dilemma, which the audience pretty much sees coming (the title gives it away)—but despite that, sets up an awkward situation, which we only hope gets more awkward and darkly funny as the series progresses (in a way that Meet the Parents never has quite accomplished).

However, the first episode doesn’t yield enough to judge the series and where it’s going.  So I encourage those interested to watch on and make up your own minds!
