Mortified ; Series 1, Episode 2 |
| Summary |
On the brink of adolescence, a girl's got a lot to deal with; a changing body, a flood of hormones, relentless judgment by her peers, even perhaps the stirrings of a first, unrequited crush. In Mortified, Taylor Fry is confronted by the lot.Although she's a lively, smart-lipped kid with plenty of courage and attitude, the truth is she feels as if she doesn't belong (and with a father known locally as "The Underpant King" who could blame her?) - but eventually Taylor must confront the truth - she is who she is.Despite frequent flights of fantasy where animals suddenly talk, and Egyptian mummies come to life, each episode is firmly anchored in reality - its core is truthful - and also very funny.Mortified is a young girl's journey towards self-acceptance.Today: Hector secretly nominates Taylor for school captain, unwittingly igniting her passion for politics. It seems to be a two-horse race as Taylor goes up against the perfect and beautiful, and seemingly unbeatable, Brittany Flune.Themes: Identity, Transition to seconday school, Adolescence, Resilience |
