The show I have chosen for Finding Gold is PEN15, a Hulu original and comedy. The show follows the lives of two 13-year-old girls and middle school outcasts in the year 2000. The main stars of the show—comedians Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle—play themselves in the show. Possibly the biggest comedic aspect of the show is that Erskine and Konkle, who are both women in their 30s, are playing 13-years-old girls despite not appearing the part—a stark contrast to the other supporting characters in the show who are actual teenagers. PEN15 follows the up and downs of what is meant to be an accurate depiction of middle school life. At times, the show is awkward, cringy and sometimes horrifying but is embarrassedly relatable at every turn.
