Austin

2024 · 3 seasons

A gentle, good-natured comedy-drama that ambles along with awkward warmth and a soft emotional pull.

Overview: A best-selling, but recently cancelled, children's author has a meltdown when approached by Austin, a neurodivergent 20-something claiming to be his son. He then realises that embracing the young man may be the path to redemption.
How it feels: Warm, earnest, light and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, redemption, identity, parenthood
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
