Stars: 5/5 ⭐️ I was going to review Santa Inc. but then it got a 1.7 or something starts on IMDb, so here we are. Happy Holidays. The Real O'Neals is that show that was great, but it was cancelled two early. With only 29 episodes spanning the two seasons, it's a quick watch, but it's a hell of a ride. Following the O'Neal family, after the family reveals their secrets. The parents, Eileen and Pat, played by Martha Plimpton and Jay R. Ferguson, are getting divorced, the oldest son, Jimmy, played by Matt Shively, is anorexic, the middle child, younger brother, and main character of the show, Kenny, played by Noah Galvin, is gay, and the youngest child, Shannon, played by Bebe Wood, is a thief. And that's where the show kicks off, as it's the push and pull of the imperfections of the family, while also being "good Catholics" and trying to figure out what that means for them, and how to move on in life, especially with Kenny being gay and the parents getting divorced, while still being good standing Catholics. And the show isn't afraid to shy away from the nuances of new family life. Can you be friends with the person that you are divorcing, and how are you going to do it? The feelings and loneliness that comes from being the only out gay kid at your school, and how are you going to fix that? What does it meant to be a good catholic? And the show always is moving with jokes, and you will be sure laughing your ass off. What is great about this show as well is having Kenny, a teenage lgbtq+ character who's treated like every other character, and he has a lot of growth and development in the show. He's also not a stereotype, like he enjoys things that stereotypically gay men do, but he also is actively engages in student government, and is a great camper in a sense beating out his father and brother when the three go on a camping trip. So, this is a show similar to Don't Trust the B in Apt. 3, it's a knockout show that's a quick and fun watch, and fun for the whole family;.
