Katie Cappiello’s 2013 play Slut, Netflix’s Grand Army goes deep into the issues affecting an array of teens at a Brooklyn high school, including the story of Sid (Amir Bageria), a popular gay teen with traditional Indian parents who grapples with coming out.Starring a cast of relative newcomers, at the core of the show is Odessa A’zion’s (Nashville) Joey Del Marco, a wild girl who is sexually assaulted by her best guy friends.
What ensues is a look into the still-nebulous area in the post-#MeToo era of whether or not people tend to truly believe survivors of sexual assault.The series, from Gone Girl producer Joshua Donen and House of Cards’s Beau Willimon, also stars Odley Jean as Dominique, a teen with a bright future who juggles helping.
