Réponds-moi papa

The title of this series translates to Answer Me Daddy. We get to watch as little six-year-old Tyson interacts with his single father Daddy.  Parents will identify with things such as homework procrastination, and the invention of nonsense words. There's plenty of six-year-old silliness like pretending to gag at the mention of what's for dinner.

My 90 Year Old Roommate

A young man is forced by economic circumstances to move in with his 90 year old grandfather. Grandpa can't believe it is easier to "get laid" than to hold hands. Grandson tries writing eulogies to earn a buck. In one episode, they act out a call from the grandson to a former lover telling her he has been diagnosed with a STD. And that's just the first four episodes.

Guess Who's Muslim

In this four-episode comedy web series (including a captioned trailer) a young man becomes Muslim. His parents think he is gay instead. They won't listen when he tries to tell them he is Muslim, not gay. Then the parents go overboard with the Muslim thing. Even though it is a comedy, the dialogue manages to include some positive commentary on what being Muslim is really about. There's also some not-so-subtle digs at a certain group, and at a certain actor from a popular 1980s comedy TV show.

In another world where the supernatural is either embraced, hated, or in-between, there are werewolves and those who can change things around them, among others. Some keep their abilities quiet, while others, if their abilities are known, are rejected. This is where therapist Dr. Michelle Kessler comes in, to talk with these people who come into her office. Their feelings run the range from acceptance to hating themselves.
