About the show
The show follows the lives of Flex Washington (
Flex Alexander) and his teenage daughter Breanna Barnes (
Kyla Pratt). The series begins with Breanna wanting to stay with her father, Flex, whom Breanna used to see only two weeks a year. When he blew out his knee during an
NBA game, Flex had his communications degree to fall back on and became a sportscaster. Flex works for the fictional WYNX TV station in
Baltimore, resides in the ultimate bachelor pad, and lives the life of luxury. He is a ladies' man who wants to be both a responsible parent and a best friend to Breanna. Flex is very protective of his daughter, especially with boys. He has only had a couple of serious relationships, one of which was Breanna's mother Nicole Barnes (
Tichina Arnold), whom he impregnated at the age of 18. When Nicole takes a job in
Nova Scotia, Nicole allows Breanna to live with Flex.
