Musical Chairs
Amy Poeppel
A cellist's carefully planned summer in Connecticut falls apart when her breakup and her two grown kids all land on her doorstep at once. Funny, warm, and full of family chaos.
The Sweet Spot
Amy Poeppel
A chaotic, big-hearted comedy set around a New York brownstone. Poeppel is reliably delightful.

Daniel Mason
From the North Woods guy, but set right now: a family of city academics decamps to rural Vermont for a year. A tender, funny portrait of a dad who's sure he's let everyone down.
