It's Kind of a Funny Story

A 16 year old boy stressed out from the complexities of being a teenager checks himself into a mental health hospital fearing that he may commit suicide. Inside he meets a random group of people that all suffer from different mental health issues.

Sooooo, kind of funny.... Yeah, I guess that adequately describes this show.  As it was neither dark enough to take seriously nor comedic enough to be memorable.

The casting looks intriguing but isn't really.  They kind of force, the kind of funny stuff,  if you know what I mean and struggle to gel as a cast as a whole.  The dream sequences however are really well done and could have been used as a real attempt to understand what those with depression deal with, but again, this film deliberately avoids getting too real and/or too serious about the issues.

It was only an hour and forty minutes and yet hits some grave lulls that make it feel so much longer.

Overall totally forgettable.

** Kind of Rentable
