You can stream Big Time Adolescence (2020) on Hulu with a subscription.

A seemingly bright and mostly innocent 16-year-old named Mo attempts to navigate high school under the guidance of his best friend Zeke, an unmotivated-yet-charismatic college dropout. Although Zeke genuinely cares about Mo, things start to go awry as he teaches Mo nontraditional life lessons in drug dealing, partying, and dating. Meanwhile, Mo’s well-meaning dad tries to step in and take back the reins of his son’s upbringing.

This deadpan comedy sidesteps typical teen angst in favor of a chaotic, misguided mentorship between a bright student and a lovable loser. Expect a sharp, sun-drenched look at the absurdly bad advice that shapes a suburban adolescence.
