Hollywood icon Rob Lowe joins forces with his son, John Owen Lowe, in Netflix comedy Unstable.
The series follows Jackson, a shy and socially awkward twenty-something as he begins working at his estranged father Ellis’s multi-million dollar bioresearch facility, Dragon.

However, after the death of his wife, he finds himself on the verge of a nervous breakdown as he struggles to grieve the loss.
On the verge of being ousted from the company, Ellis is aided by his COO Anna, who will do whatever it takes to keep the business afloat.
