The show focuses on the "very realistic marital troubles" of its central couple and the challenges of rural life, specifically the falling prices of livestock and the threat of selling the ranch.

Critics noted that while the show sometimes relied on "sexist oafs" for humor, it offered rare "rural observations" seldom seen in mainstream TV's predominantly urban settings. The season was split into two parts: Part 1 was released in April, followed by Part 2 in October 2016.

After 15 years away, Colt Bennett returns home to find his family’s ranch struggling financially.

Unlike many sitcoms that reset every episode, Season 1 uses a serialized approach where financial woes and marital troubles between Beau and Maggie have lasting ripple effects.
