Oliver: Week One

Complete Series
Coverage »Vulture TV Recaps

Chubby Oliver is a pawn in his parents’ divorce — but he can’t admit that they’re splitting up. They expect Paul to explain it to him. Sporty dad wants Oliver to man up and take care of himself; nurturing mom wants Oliver to be her baby and have a snack and tell dad how wrong he is.
