What is Unstable (TV) About?
Unstable is an American workplace comedy series that delves into the relationship between a biotechnology genius, Ellis Dragon, and his son, Jackson Dragon. Ellis, portrayed by Rob Lowe, is the charismatic yet complicated CEO of a cutting-edge biotech company called Dragon, who grapples with his own eccentricities and the grief of losing his wife. His son Jackson, played by John Owen Lowe, aims to pull his father back from the brink of emotional turmoil while also seeking to make his own mark in the world. The show follows Jackson, who brings his background as a flautist and his contrasting personality to the scientific venture, as he tries to steer the company away from potential collapse. The supporting cast includes Sian Clifford as Anna, the company's CFO, who is all business with a sharp wit, and Aaron Branch as Malcolm, Jackson's childhood friend and an essential cog in the company's wheel, working as program manager. Set within the confines of the high-stakes biotech industry, Unstable offers a mix of humor and heart as it explores familial bonds, the pursuit of innovation, and the complications arising from mixing business with personal life.
