Merchant is more brutally honest than most sports movies – or any kind of rising-star movie, for that matter – about failure, and it makes Fighting With My Family better than it needs to be. The entire cast is a pleasure, particularly the dynamo Pugh.

Originally aired on Australia’s Network 10 last year, it’s a pleasant-enough show that examines the age-old TV trope of just what a family is.

It’s dirty, it’s sexy, it’s disgusting, it’s hilarious – and it’s about being a girl. As in, a real girl. Scared? You should be.

Now [Forky] has his own little snack-sized series, in which he proves quite charming and expressive — thanks in no small part to the lovely voice work by Tony Hale.

Lead actress and creator Sarah Kendall puts enough perverse tweaks on potentially saccharine conventions that the viewer will remain delightfully off-balance. Perhaps even delighted. Sometimes appalled.

The series doesn’t purport to take an ostensibly impartial view of Meek’s original case. It’s more interested in tying the story of the artist’s 12-year legal limbo to that experienced by black people around the country, especially in low-income neighborhoods.
