Family Unit, slides into this moment by commenting on current politics, but also providing a nuanced, interesting, and emotional story of a collection of different trans and nonbinary characters.

We’re living in a world where the way things used to be are fading away, especially for those who are used to having power. What does it mean to live in a world where you can’t trust the police? The government? Maybe even your neighbors? As some people double down on their beliefs others are left to pick up the pieces.

A family drama about a different type of family; one who comes together by choice; they both take care of one another but also patrol the streets at night and fight crime.

Jay and Elle, both transgender and in their 30’s, have been married for a while. They’ve taken in a group of kids ranging in age from 4 to 16. Kids who need a place for the night or a lifetime.

This is a gritty family drama. Crime and heart. Violence and hope. And a family who you’ll both recognize and is like nothing you’ve seen on tv before. In a world gone off the rails, you can depend on the Family Unit.
