‘Unstable’ review: Rob and John Owen Low team up for this charming workplace comedy.

Created by his son Rob Low and co-stars John Owen Low and “Better Off Ted” creator Victor Fresco, “Unstable” is a sweet workplace comedy. which, oddly enough to feel fresh and primitive enough to feel good.

to prove the point in the series where a famous father overshadows, dominates and steals the attention of his less sociable son. Let me ask, who doesn’t love Rob Lowe? At just 59 years old, he’s a veteran of many different careers. in which individuals and parts often blended together Listen to his awesome interview podcast. “Truly!” (a title that echoes his catchphrase “truly” “Parks and Recreation”, which draws from Lowe’s habitual use of the term) is no different from watching his show.

His strengths are energy, confidence, and good looks that seem to mimic handsomeness. These are qualities with which he can turn to various ends, disguising his confidence into narcissism. Make the energy motivated or exhausted according to the needs of the situation. Although that’s his charm that even though his character is taxing. They are still attractive.

Lowe is an undeniable star. But has flourished in both ensemble and supporting roles, from “The Outsiders” to “The West Wing” to his currently airing Fox firehouse drama “9-1-1: Lone.” Star” in his bizarre turn as plastic surgeon Liberace in Steven Soderbergh’s “Behind the Candelabra.” until the joke on this issue

Saying that he made an impression in such a short period of time doesn’t mean that little of him has gone far. in life and on screen Between a cheater and an upright citizen He had no problem ridiculing himself. as well as in the brilliant short sitcom The Grinder, in which he played an unemployed actor. who had played a lawyer on television then believed he was the one

In “Unstable,” Lowe plays Ellis Dragon, a famous and quirky scientific genius. A newly widow who has just turned sugar into plastic. Create bruiseless avocados and bionic pancreas for so affordable “You can sell them in packs of three at Costco,” and is working on ways to convert carbon into the atmosphere. (The explosion of techno babble in this series may or may not sound absurd to someone who knows something about biotechnology.) For those who don’t know, sounds ridiculous.) You shouldn’t think of Elon Musk in reference to Lowe’s character or all of them, if you can help it.

The loss of his wife unsettles Ellis. It made him less focused at crucial moments. He is in danger of losing his biotechnology company. If still active, he dances, he sings.

“How are you doing?” asks his second in command, Anna (Sian Clifford). “It’s just that you seem to be getting more. Maybe I don’t know why dancing around is more crazy.”

“Crazy?” Ellis asked in turn. “Or am I just letting the beauty of the world drive me in a deeper way?”

“That’s exactly the same thing.”

as an adult of the series Anna sent Jackson. Ellis’s son It is played by John Owen Lowe, who inherited his father’s scientific brilliance. but is teaching flute all over the country and carving by myself. Reluctantly, Jackson traveled west. with the intention of staying just one day Instead, the script finds reasons for him to stay with Ellis, even though he loves his son. But still wanted to recreate him in his own image. Jackson only wanted to be Jackson.

“I don’t want you to be anyone else,” Ellis said. “I want you to be. definitely Your generation….just like you.”

with sorrow as he grieved Ellis spends the season without love. which makes me feel refreshed His main relationship was with Jackson. Anna, the all-business ironic who secretly writes fanfiction about her office mates; Juan (Frank Gallegos), a philosopher-gardener who oversees the landscape Ellis spends weekly bathing in the moonlight for spiritual reasons; and Leslie (Fred Armisen), whose deal with the devil guaranteeing him to appear in every television comedy), a company-appointed therapist he keeps in his (pretty much) basement.

Also in the mix are lab mates Ruby (Emma Ferrera), the laid-back look, and Luna (Rachel Marsh), the stiff and equally interested in Jackson. Newly promoted project manager Malcolm (Aaron Branch), a shy, dedicated Ellis. and Tom’s already established comedy team. Allen and JT Parr (“Chad and JT Godeep”) as idiotic twins determined to take down Ellis.

with the pleasure of pairing actors with well-written roles. Actors show a particularly good advantage. I found that their company fueled their company.

To John Owen Low, he had a typical masculine vibe. that is sweet and suitable for this role You don’t have to identify him as your father’s son. He has some fatherly qualities. In terms of the Brat Pack, he’s the Andrew McCarthy version of Rob Lowe (“Unstable,” their second television series. (After a short-lived supernatural reality road trip, “The Lowe Files,” which also stars Rob’s other son, Matthew.)

Recently, social media The story (and this article) has gone viral on the subject of “nepo kids,” as if people weren’t constantly getting involved in their parents’ business. or inherited some of the qualities that made their families successful. Or will you exclude the world of Sammy Davis Jr.? Lisa Minnelli? Peter Bruegel the younger? more likely than John Owen would not be Rob’s son. At least it hasn’t been cast in a series he created together, but everyone can say the same about Dan and Eugene Levy and see how well it turns out.
