Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous

Wonderful show. If you are a fan of Bo Burnham's material, then you know what to expect. A great, well thought out idea, expertly executed that will have you laughing one moment and feel sad the next. Witty, funny and still full of emotion and meaning. There isn't really anything like this show out there. Well done, well done! Even if this show was made 8 years ago, it is still just as relevant. If not more so.

Well i really like Bo Burnham, his shows and his songs. I were very obsessed with him around 2020 and uhm in that time i started watching everything of him. I started watching this series in 2020, i loved it i totally loved it!

I mean ofcourse i like Bo Burnham but i swear i'm always honest to myself about those things but this show just made me laugh felt relatable and were very intrestering to me!

It's about a boy who is different then other normal teens named Zach Stone and he wants to be famous and starts filming his life. Zach Stone is Bo Burnham by the way.

Zach Stone graduated from High School.

Zach stone combines the cliches of teenage drama tropes with a striking hyper-awareness of the desire to be seen. Almost seamlessly we see both Zach's narcissistic aspirations and self-conscious growing pains play out before his hired camera crew. The series uniquely comments on reality television, media consumption, pining for digital immortality, and the wavering fear of growing up.

While I wish there was more to watch the series wrapped itself up perfectly, leaving the viewers with the autonomy to determine the future of our Zach Stone. Definitely worth the second watch, and if you haven't already, give it a try.

Let me preface this review by saying that Bo Burnham is my favorite comedian. "Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous" is a hilarious show that makes me laugh every time I watch it. There is tons of humor, and a lot of heart as well. Every episode has a bit of drama as Zach Stone tries to find his place in the world. The humorous situations find meaning in Zach's quest to become famous, but it also has a great deal of depth in his interpersonal relations, especially with his family and his best friend/love interest Amy. Though Zach can be flippant and immature, he always comes to realize a greater message through his family's support, and his antics serve to show how his family and friends love him no matter what. It's a great show with a lot of heart, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun situational comedy, as well as fans of Bo Burnham such as myself. 10/10

There are plenty of variables that would make one think this show could be horrible: 1. It's on MTV 2. It's about a teenager trying to be famous 3. It's about reality TV 4. It's on MTV

But the show is a surprisingly funny AND poignant satire/parody of people's lust for fame. I would've thought the main character would be annoying to watch, but the way the show is written, the awkward situations he gets himself into are hilarious. I'm a fan of awkward humor shows (ie The Office, Peep Show, etc.) where it makes you cringe sometimes because the situations get so awkward for the characters.

And the show's poignancy comes from how the main character's selfish conquest for fame affects his most important, long term relationships with family and friends.
