Unsupervised

Unsupervised is an animated, half-hour comedy on FX, about two eternally optimistic best friends, Gary and Joel, who are navigating the harsh landscape of adolescence and trying to do what's right despite having no parental guidance whatsoever.

Gary's father took off years ago and left him with his absentee stepmom, while Joel's elderly parents remain unseen and uninvolved. And the adults who are actually present in Gary's and Joel's lives are anything but role models. At first glance, Gary and Joel's world may be bleak, but their worldview is bright as they guide themselves through life with each other to depend on.

Unsupervised was created by David Hornsby, Scott Marder & Rob Rosell, well known for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is animated by Floyd County Productions, the same studio that creates Archer.

Tropes used in Unsupervised include:

A-Cup Angst: Megan even hallucinated the mirror mocking her for being flat-chested.

Joel: It's just when people don't love sunshine I get fricked out, man! ... it makes me so mad sometimes I wanna murder the whole world.

Black and Nerdy: Darius definitely has the most school smarts of the group and is the only one in the "eagle track", their highest academic curriculeum.
