About the show

Two best friends struggle to process surviving a school shooting that is overshadowed by a much worse school shooting on the same day. A dark comedy about America’s traumatized, despondent, yet somehow hilarious youth. Developed with hundreds of students, teachers, and survivors whose gallows humour helps them cope with the United States' gun violence epidemic. Written by former US public school teacher Alice Stanley Jr and directed by Riley Rose Critchlow. 'Captivating, provocative, inspiring' (Executive Producer Adam McKay – All the Empty Rooms, Succession, The Big Short, Step Brothers).
