Chad S1
Ever felt like a fish out of water? Then you’ll relate to Chad, a 14-year-old boy from an Iranian family who just wants to fit in at his all-American high school. He’s on a mission to become one of the cool kids, but the harder he tries, the worse things seem to go. And things get awkward super fast.
If that weren’t bad enough, his mother is diving headfirst into her newfound dating life, and Chad is not cool with it.
Chad is played by series creator and writer Nasim Pedrad – a 39-year-old woman. RoberEbert.com says: “Nasim Pedrad pulls off a bold, bizarre comedic feat in Chad, the new single-camera comedy from TBS. She fully immerses herself into her portrayal of a 14-year-old boy, without the story ever winking that the character is being played by a talented comedian.
“The ample comedy here is not that Pedrad is in the title role, but that being a teenage boy is its own cruel and potentially very funny joke.”
