About
"Cringe-comedy freshman year hiding a much bigger secret"
A former high school football star arrives at college still hiding that he's gay, terrified of being found out now that he's supposed to be reinventing himself. He falls in with a whip-smart, equally guarded girl, and the two forge a strange alliance built on mutual camouflage. The show plays as a college coming-of-age comedy, heavy on cringe humor and party chaos, but it keeps circling back to something rawer underneath: the exhausting performance of pretending to be fine. It's funny in a wincing way, then quietly moving when you least expect it.
the way awkward campus comedy slowly gives way to real emotional honesty about hiding who you are.
you find secondhand-embarrassment humor hard to sit through for a full season.
