The Plateaus

2015 · 1 season

A scrappy, deadpan mockumentary-style comedy where a hapless band keeps stumbling, and you watch mostly to enjoy the cringe and the jokes.

Overview: Just as they begin to rise, the Plateaus lose their lead singer to an accident. The remaining members decide to carry on, creating a hilarious parody of a band trying to climb the ladder of success, and failing at every turn.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Music, friendship, ambition, work
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
