- Title: Fairfax – Fairfax at Night
- IMDb: link
Don’t be in too big a hurry to grow up seems to be the lesson of “Fairfax at Night.” The bizarre misadventures of middle school best-friends Dale (Skyler Gisondo), Derica (Kiersey Clemons), Benny (Peter S. Kim), and Truman (Jaboukie Young-White) continue in the show’s Second Season premiere where camping out overnight for the release of Off-Brian’s (Timothy Simons) new Tennis Ball Shoe leads to all kinds of problems for the kids. Before the night each will have their own bizarre adventure leading them back to Dale’s house with no shoes but certainly enough wacky experiences to cover their first night outing as a group.
Dale discovers he may not be quite a big boy yet when he loses his father’s tent and his quest to retrieve it is complicated by Derica’s lust for coffee that eventually turns her into a werewolf (strangely enough, I’m not sure this is the most bizarre story of the night). Truman ends up working nearly an entire lifetime in a couple hours as the new head chef at a restaurant when he’s given the job on a whim by Don Pardo (Michael Badalucco), and Benny’s brand loyalty will be put to the test by peer pressure from Fairfax Avenue’s Trend-obsessed hypebeast culture.
