Emmy-nominated comedy series Pen15, and it’s brilliant! I can’t remember the last time I doubled over with laughter at a sitcom.
And, I can’t remember a show that made me think back on those days of my embryonic sexuality.Briefly, the show deals with two awkward seventh-graders who are BFFs, Anna and Maya, played marvelously by the show’s creators, Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine.As a 57-year-old man, I had to get over the fact that I was watching two girls reveal the brutal honesty and horror of discovering themselves.
They talk openly and wildly about their interest in boys, practice making out on bedposts, and discuss their private parts in hilarious detail.
