The Other Two
In the year 2019, Comedy Central premiered a new comedy series called The Other Two. The show centers on the Dubek family: the mother, Pat (played by Molly Shannon), the youngest child, Chase, and the other two - Brooke, the oldest of the Dubek children, and Cary, the middle child. The show starts off season one with Chase becoming wildly famous after releasing a song about love (and recess) that instantly goes viral on YouTube. Chase immediately becomes the next pop sensation. But what about his two older siblings? Cary is a struggling actor and Brooke is a real estate agent who used to be a dancer before an injury. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, fans had to wait a little over a year for season two, which did not disappoint.
The show comments on what it means to be famous. There is one episode in particular that commented on social media fame. In the episode, Cary is trying to get an acting job on a limited series. But the casting directors want Cary to have a strong social media presence (meaning 1,000 followers). While Cary is stressing out about how to get those followers, he meets four male friends he calls “the Instagays.” These men are constantly taking photos of themselves in inauthentic ways that are both hilarious and provides commentary on what it means to be an influencer. (Side Note: The episode also shows Brooke trying to find love through social media dating, she wants to meet men who don’t care who Chase is, her parts of the clip at the bottom showcase what dating through social media looks like).
The series can be found on HBO Max and it has been renewed for a well deserved third season. The video provided is not a trailer of the series but a five-minute video of the highlights of the episode I just described. I hope you all enjoy!
