Trivia
This show's premise is very loosely based on the childhood experiences of writer, "It Gets Better" campaign co-creator, and one of The Real O'Neals executive producers, Dan Savage. Savage, like Kenny, grew up as a gay kid in a devoutly Catholic Irish-American family with his father working as a Chicago cop, and his parents divorcing. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

"The IMDb Show" connects the dots between IMDb's Top 10 Stars of 2017 and unwraps some of the most memorable and festive animated holiday specials.
While the show has many sub themes, the primary story of the show is the relationship between a teenage boy and his family. The boy, Kenny (Noah Galvin) is gay and the show is mostly told through his point of view. But this is not a show made for a niche audience, it is a show made for all viewers.
My only criticism of the show is they seem to mock Christians, Catholics in particular, for no reason. For instance, they have a stature of the virgin Mary on the toilet tank. Jesus shows up in a few episodes, and has a few lines that do not really add to the plot. Hopefully there will be less of this as the show matures.
The show has a solid cast. Noah Galvin in particular does a great job of making the gay teenager relatable, serious and funny. All the cast is quite good.
