Look, Unstable is fine. It's a Netflix workplace sitcom about a father and son trying to save the family biotech business while working through their issues. The reviews are solidly 'meh'—critics gave it a 68%, audiences a 62%, IMDb users a 6.7. That's the definition of forgettable television.
The premise has potential—family dynamics, generational clashes, workplace comedy—but the execution seems to land somewhere between 'pleasant background noise' and 'why am I still watching this?' It's not offensive, it's not terrible, it's just... there.
If your teen is bored and scrolling Netflix, they could do worse. But they could also do a lot better. This isn't the show that's going to spark deep family conversations or become anyone's favorite. It's the show you watch once, forget about, and then vaguely remember when someone mentions it three years later. 'Oh yeah, that existed.'
The WISE score reflects this reality: it's safe enough, has some wholesome family themes, but lacks imagination and enrichment. It's a 52—passing, but barely worth your time.
