"Family Story of Two Killers and a Girl", as the show described itself. Admittedly, movies like "Léon: The Professional" about killers becoming parents can be quite interesting. "Buddy Daddies" is a surprisingly well executed story about team of two professional assassins adopting a small child who is only 4 years old. While they are doing their best at things they are not prepared or trained for, their work threatens their parenting success, creating many risks and conflicts. It would be a nice show about parenting if not the main premise of the story. Because, you know, being a trained killer is just what good parent needs, right? Ultimately the problem of this show is normalisation of assassins as occupation. "Look how cool those murderers are, and they are good parents too!"
There are many humorous moments that make the show worth watching. I've found it funny how one main character imagines a child being a grown-up problematic teenager. Story is weak but enjoyable, despite distracting combat scenes. Overall impression is OK.

Sometimes it's kinder not to get involved.
Keeping your kid's dreams alive is part of a parent's job, right? Even if it means lying, yeah.
The only thing capable of transcending death is words. But most of those words, likewise, disappear into oblivion.

When you're a parent, there's so much to worry about.
