Son of a Critch
Comedy
Based on an award-winning memoir from Mark Critch, "Son of a Critch" is the hilarious and very real story of a young Mark coming of age in the 1980s. Developed from Critch's 2018 memoir, which was in turn based on his real life experiences growing up in Newfoundland, Canada, the series is a heartfelt window in the life of a child who is much older inside than his 11 years. He uses comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited junior high world.
