Horace and Pete

Episode 1 (1x1)

:

Horace and Pete are co-owners of Horace and Pete's, a 100-year old family-owned bar which has been run by a Horace and a Pete for seven generations. Regular customers include Marsha, a still-attractive alcoholic who was Horace's late father's final girlfriend, while other customers often argue about politics (specifically Donald Trump) and the showboating antics of Cam Newton during Super Bowl 50. Horace has a strained relationship with his daughter Alice and his son refuses to speak to him. Horace's sister Sylvia arrives with her lawyer and gives notice that she intends to sue the bar for her share of the inheritance and to sell it, as the bar is unprofitable due to years of mismanagement. Uncle Pete reveals that he is Pete's true father, but he gave him up to be raised by Horace because he "doesn't like kids". Pete, a kindly man with mental health issues, can no longer afford to take his expensive medication due to an insurance mix-up and has a meltdown. Out of the blue, Horace asks his girlfriend Rachel to move out.
