The show follows Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood), who lives for the weekend when she can get blasted and party hard in Stockport, Manchester. But after joining the mile high club with a random hook-up on her way back from a holiday to Portugal, she's pregnant, and it couldn't come at a worse time.
  The only person Gemma has left in her life is her dad Malcolm (David Morrissey), who is kind hearted but useless – he can't load a washing machine, boil an egg or change the Wi-Fi password. Malcolm is suffering from the collapse of his family and living in a bedsit for divorced men.
  Which is how Gemma and her dad end up living in Gemma's flat. She needs support at a critical time in a woman's life, he needs help microwaving rice without it exploding.
  At its heart Daddy Issues is a classic odd couple comedy about two funny, deeply flawed characters, who just happen to be father and daughter. Along the way there will be dating disasters and failed romances, toxic friendships and messy family dynamics, plus a dangerously sociopathic antenatal teacher.

这部剧讲述了杰玛（艾米·卢·伍德饰）的故事。她周末最爱在曼彻斯特的斯托克波特尽情狂欢，享受生活。然而，在从葡萄牙度假回来的途中，她与一位陌生人发生了一夜情，结果意外怀孕，而且时机糟透了。

杰玛生活中唯一剩下的亲人是她的父亲马尔科姆（大卫·莫里西饰）。马尔科姆心地善良，但却是个十足的废物——他连洗衣机都不会用，煮鸡蛋也不会，甚至连Wi-Fi密码都不会改。家庭破裂后，马尔科姆独自住在离异男士的单间公寓里。

就这样，杰玛和她父亲搬进了杰玛的公寓。在这个人生的关键时刻，杰玛需要帮助，而马尔科姆则需要帮忙才能把米饭用微波炉加热而不爆炸。

《爸爸的问题》本质上是一部经典的“欢喜冤家”喜剧，讲述了两个性格古怪、各有缺陷的角色——恰好是父女——之间的故事。一路上，他们会经历约会失败、恋情破裂、有毒的友谊和混乱的家庭关系，外加一个危险的反社会人格产前老师。
