Mike O'Malley and his tremendously talented team of writers and actors boldly tackle today's most pressing issues, from race, class, sex and politics to love and loss but with such a deft touch that nothing ever feels heavy-handed. In the Calloways, O'Malley has created a modern family bound by heart and humor, who remain completely relatable despite dealing with the 'pro-money and pro-problems' that come with Cam's position as one of the top basketball stars in the nation."
