Fishslap

Fishslap is an American dark comedy-drama television series which airs on Showtime. It is based upon the lives of the UMD BFA Class of 2020. Seasons consist of 15 episodes due to a deal with Hildestad and Stanich's contracts. The seasons are released fully all at once, much like a Netflix original series, a deal in Stanich's contract again.
The series central characters are Mitchell "Mick" and Chelsey Davenport, who relocate to Duluth, MN with their three children, under the new personas of the Johnson family and try to navigate a normal life and keep their pasts a secret. Over the course of the series, the Johnson's reasons for leaving Dearborn, MI are revealed, and the family increasingly becomes entangled in illegal activity to secure their safety.
==Premise==
The series depicts the Johnson family, patriarchal figures Mitchell "Mick" and Chelsey, along with their children: Scarlett, Bridget, and Dodger. The beginning of the series focuses on their unexpected move from Dearborn, MI to Duluth, MN, where Chesley's alcoholic sister, Carol, lives. At first their motives for leaving their old home and relocating are unknown, but as the series progresses, many of their secrets become unraveled by their family and friends. Determined to keep their past secret, the Johnsons often get caught in crass and unconventional situations along with their friends and family. As they adjust to their new lives, focus is put on real family issues, the harshness of growing up, how to navigate family life, taking care of themselves, and how to avoid the chaos that follows them.
As the series progresses, the show has expanded to also featuring many of the Johnson's family members, friends, and accomplices in their own storylines. 
For the first three seasons, each episode was told in two time periods. The beginning of each episode focused on a short flashforward into the lives of the Johnsons and then proceeds to the present. The end of the episode also continutes a short flashforward, continuing where it was last left off. These short flashforwards foreshadow a future event that will have huge climactic results for the Johnsons and eventually all of the pieces come together in Episode 9. Starting Episode 9, the series shifts from flashforwards to a series of flashbacks to explain backstories of some of the main characters that all come together in the finale. However, after Season 3 Episode 9, the flashbacks and flashforwards were discontinued.
