The irony is that I made a joke that this show-series was not very interesting because I tend to avoid shows and ohhh did I eat my words. This is every authentic adolescent experience rolled into a retro clashed modern gold trophy. Probably painted on an Iroc! Well if you don’t know what that car is you will identify retro 80s & early 90’s attires and fixtures. Wayne and his co-stars grow up in a seemingly rough part of Brockton Massachusetts in a low income community. Wayne himself is a tough as nails kid that reminds you of that one gnarly kid that every kid remembers growing up with through the early teen years. Everyone knew at least one type of Wayne in school who just didn’t give a fuck. During a time kids are introduced to everything you can think of from drugs, to alcohol to sex you name it. Wayne is so awkwardly honest that you find him very unapologetic to who he is as a person. Everything you think you wish you could do Wayne has thought of and does better. Each time he or someone he cares about is done wrong Wayne answers back. Wayne can’t be broken in any way except he weak spot is for the cute girl he loves named Del. Who is his opposite but in a good way. She is everything he is not but together they make a great team as she has the other side of street smarts Wayne doesn’t always use. The scenes are meshed up into a great arrangement of the IFC feel yet modern imagery. Every character starts to gain their own notoriety as it continues on and worth every character perspective angle of the story to see other characters take over the show a bit. One of the things that’s really artistic about this series is that they know how to make a really funny joke scene and follow up with a serious aspect to the film then immediately break the ice with light humor. Not in a bad roller coaster way almost like that moment you almost want to feel sad but then laugh it off. Wayne is a hardcore guy but got a soft sport for helping people who need him. I have a cousin named Nigel who reminds me of Wayne and my cousin we call Gnarly Nigel due to his Wayne style attributes so enjoy this Netflix series as it just gets better and better with each episode.
