In the series, This is a Lot, Mackenzie Kyle stars as a semi-fictionalized version of herself. A Mom who’s pushing 40 and thinks her kids are the cause of most of her troubles. What the audience discovers is that she is actually the agent of chaos in her own life. Each episode pulls from Kyle’s real life experiences, from confronting Gen Z co-workers to outwardly asking her vet to find something wrong with her perfectly healthy dog just so she has one less mouth to feed.She has a knack for saying exactly what is on her mind even if it goes against the social norms. This is a Lot is Curb Your Enthusiasm… but for Moms.

Written and Created by Mackenzie Kyle
Produced and Directed by Lesley Powers

Motherhood’s representation on TV needs a facelift. For our team, the goal is not to write a “likable” Mom, it’s to write a REAL one. Each episode would take the audience through a real time day in the life of our main character, capturing just how insane a half hour of parenting can actually be.
