Leanne is a family-ensemble sitcom built around the messy, funny work of starting over after a marriage falls apart. The humor stays grounded in domestic life rather than reaching for satire, so the laughs tend to come from recognizable situations: miscommunication, well-meaning interference, and the small indignities of rebuilding a household from scratch.
Leanne's relatives are the engine of most of that chaos. They are loud, opinionated, and genuinely devoted, which means their help often creates as many problems as it solves. That push and pull between interference and loyalty gives the show its warmth without tipping into sentimentality; the tone stays upbeat even when Leanne's circumstances are genuinely difficult.
