Premise


So Help Me Todd follows Todd, a talented but directionless private investigator, and who is also the black sheep of his family. At the insistence of his overbearing mother, Margaret, Todd begrudgingly agrees to work at her law firm as the in-house investigator. Margaret has a tendency to strictly adhere to the law, which is at complete odds with Todd's tendency to bend the law to navigate sticky situations.[1]
