The show
Safer at Home? Follows the marriage counseling micro-sessions of Alan and Chet as they navigate the pandemic, the stay-at-home order, and the BLM movement of Summer 2020. Though closer than ever before, they have also never been farther apart.
Allan
Alan can work from home and has set up an office space in the couple's guest room. He is a bit messy, as he saves his energy on creative endeavors for work. He is a creative director at an ad agency and is used to pressurized environments everywhere but at home.
Dr. Corbie
Dr. Corbie is a therapist with a penchant for magic. Due to the stay-at-home order, he has had to adapt to a new session format and has decided to incorporate micro-sessions into his routine. This way, he can help as many people as possible while maintaining a healthy work/life balance even when the two have merged.
Chet
Chet is a social butterfly and works at a gym. Unfortunately, that means that Chet has not been able to work for some time. He is terrified of the virus and does his best to accommodate Alan in his new work set up. It is not easy, though, because Alan is taking over his territory. Chet has always been the organizer of the two, and Alan's lack of it irks him.
