About the Show

Tania and her husband Pablo think they’ve found the American dream when they move next door to Virginia and Frank, longtime residents with a picture-perfect garden. But a backyard gathering and a question about the fence line quickly ignite a hilarious feud, exposing their clashing ideas of taste, class, and culture.
