Welcome to “Turf Valley.”
(The show, not the place.)
Times are hard. People need to laugh.
You can laugh at dads.
Why? Because dads can take it. “Turf Valley” is a short-form digital series that follows three stay-at-home dads who, after ushering their kids onto the bus, hang back to shoot the existential breeze. Middle-aged, overeducated and underutilized, this trio is neck-deep in first-world problems they’ll never quite understand, much less solve. But that won’t stop them from trying! Watch how their trivial conversations take them deep into the heart of their collective anxieties about life in Turf Valley, a cushy suburb of D.C. Not since Estragon and Vladimir (or Hank Hill and Dale Gribble) has the absurdity of existence found such lovable goofs.
