Let’s not dance around the truth: Since the death of his wife, tech genius Ellis Dragon (Rob Lowe) has gotten a lot more idiosyncratic than usual. This is easily apparent in the opening minutes of Unstable, which introduce us to Ellis as he processes the death of his beloved wife through… dance. 

What? Don’t most geniuses wake up in their scenic, hillside Los Angeles mansions and have a solo dance party to “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)” before work? 

Unfortunately, Ellis’ eccentricities are beginning to affect his biotechnology business, which is why his CFO Anna (Sian Clifford) calls on his son Jackson (John Owen Lowe), who had been working as a flute teacher in New York City, to bring some normalcy to the Dragon company. 

Lowe is no stranger to on-screen “silly dancing,” he tells Tudum of his fancy footwork. “You can Google Chris Traeger dancing,” Lowe says, referring to his Parks and Recreation role. “What I’ve learned is I just need to let myself go and do whatever comes to my mind because I know it’s going to be really stupid and really funny because I am not a good dancer. So what you see in is one take with no thought and me just doing my thing.”

Unstable not only stars the two Lowes, but was also created by the father-son duo alongside Victor Fresco (Better Off Ted). Rounding out the eclectic ensemble are Rachel Marsh and Emma Ferreira as brilliant scientists and best friends Luna and Ruby; Aaron Branch as Jackson’s childhood friend and now coworker Malcolm; Tom Allen and John Parr (aka stars of Chad and JT Go Deep) as eccentric twin Dragon Company board members; and Fred Armisen as Ellis’ board-appointed therapist.
