Suburgatory
Overview
George Altman, a devoted single father, grapples with parenting his teenage daughter Tessa in the bustling city. Upon finding a box of condoms in her room, he concludes that it's time for a change of scenery—enter the suburbs. However, this seemingly idyllic community hides a bizarre reality filled with overzealous mothers, cosmetic enhancements, and hyperactive teens, leaving Tessa feeling out of place. As George navigates this new, strange environment, he questions whether moving was truly the right decision or just a leap from one set of challenges to another.
