Watch Dad adjust to the news that his teenage son Kwame plans on losing his virginity to a girl! A comedic interplay ensues between father and son over the lack of hetero role models and male identity.

Kwame, seventeen and straight, is trying to reconcile his estranged fathers, Max and Jordan. He must contend with Max's insistence that he is over Jordan, and Jordan's new relationship with former military man Jonno. Kwame is also trying to attract the girl of his dreams, Asha, and provide support to his two best friends: Dean, a talented footballer struggling with an abusive father and a crush on Max, and skater boy Bambi, trying unsuccessfully to secure a commitment from his older, on-off boyfriend, Robin. Add Max's lesbian sister and new love interest and you're in the middle of a hip, fun, music-filled soap opera.

The show was hailed by critics for its diversity; it depicted a social setting relatively free of racism or homophobia. It was also noted for its inclusion of Fraser, a thalidomide survivor with phocomelic arms, in a role where his disability was simply part of the show's fabric rather than an inherent focus of his character's role.
