When you’re a young teenager, sometimes it can feel like your every embarrassing, mortifying, cringe-worthy moment is being watched by everyone. And in Toby Martin’s (Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey) case – it is. Toby’s your average 13-year-old 7th grader. He’s dealing with growing pains, zits, a changing voice, an annoying younger sister, some mild social awkwardness and a burgeoning, intense interest in girls. Added to this, Toby’s life – unbeknown to him – has become The Game. His attempts to get through the day without too many disasters are followed by two sportscasters, Bob (Jonathan Torrens) and Geri (Samantha Bee), who give play-by-play, analysis and color commentary of Toby’s every move for viewers at home. They cheer for him when he wins and feel defeated when he loses, but are always in admiration of how Toby tries to triumph in each mortifying challenge that life throws his way.<\/p>\n \n\n \n

In the landscape of television, where shows come and go with the seasons, there’s a standout series that has managed to capture and retain a dedicated fan base since its debut in 2020: “Wharf Rats.” This show, with its unique blend of drama, humor, and a touch of the supernatural, has carved out a niche for itself. Let’s take a closer look at what makes “Wharf Rats” a must-watch series, without any unnecessary fluff.<\/p>\n

The Premise<\/h2>\n

At its core, “Wharf Rats” is about redemption, family, and the complexities of human nature, set against the backdrop of a small coastal town. The story revolves around the lives of the titular ‘Wharf Rats,’ a group of individuals who, for various reasons, find themselves on the fringes of society. They’re led by the enigmatic Charlie, a man with a mysterious past and a knack for bringing out the best in people, even those society has given up on.<\/p>\n

Characters That Feel Real<\/h2>\n

One of the show’s strongest points is its characters. They’re flawed, relatable, and, most importantly, they evolve. Take, for example, Lucy, a former lawyer who lost everything due to her addiction. Through the course of the series, we see her struggle, fall, and eventually start to rebuild her life. It’s characters like Lucy that give “Wharf Rats” its heart.<\/p>\n
