In-Laws

Season 1

After penniless cook Matt Landis marries businessman Victor Pellet's spoiled daughter Alex, they agree to save money for his dream to start his own restaurant by moving in with the Pellets. This starts years of aggravation for 'outsider' Matt because Alex's dad is domineering and keeps a strong, overprotective hold over his daughter. Futhermore, various habits and attitudes keep clashing.
