Sydney to the Max

2019–2021 · 3 seasons

A gentle, sunny sitcom that bounces between two generations, easy to dip into and consistently comforting.

Overview: Outgoing 13-year-old Sydney is on the fast track to growing up, despite the goodhearted efforts of her protective father, Max. As Sydney attempts to spread her wings and make more decisions for herself, Max does everything he can to rein her in and keep her his little girl. But in so doing, his mother, Judy, is reminded of his own antics at Sydney's age, and the parallels -- illustrated by comical flashback sequences starring a young Max -- are both amusing and enlightening.
How it feels: Light, warm, earnest and whimsical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, coming-of-age, parenthood, friendship
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
