Newlyweds Rio and Mike make the decision to change the course of their life together and move from the relentless pace of big city New York to what they think will be a more relaxed existence in rural Nebraska. After dropping everything --including their jobs and an overbearing mother-in-law -- to make the move from skyscrapers to farmhouses, they soon realize that the simpler life isn't as easy as they had planned. Rio and Mike must now learn how to weather the storm as they are faced with unexpected challenges in their new lives as farmers.

B-
It's a solid 22 minutes of television, offering exactly what's been promised since Elizabeth Meriwether and Lake Bell's sitcom earned a green light, from the promising ensemble to the tried-and-true premise. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 04/16/2019
Bell and Meriwether's script has precious little time to set up what the series is going to look like, and therefore gets to quick work making it all happen as soon as possible. Go to Full Review LaToya Ferguson Paste Magazine 04/16/2019

The premise is very easy to dismiss, but I'd still recommend sticking with it. Give it a few episodes to find itself. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan V 09/20/2024 This was a fantastic show. One of the best single-camera sitcoms in the past few years. It was genuinely funny, trope-challenging, and rewatchable. It's a realy shame that Covid-19 forced ABC to pull the plug on production after season 2. See more Casey P 09/07/2023 If I could bring back one show it'd be Bless this Mess. It's such a comfort show during the fall months. Cast is great. See more 11/28/2021 Really funny, great acting and chemistry with characters See more 08/15/2020 So funny!! Very clever humor. Love it!
