Dad, I'm 21 Now

Tasting notes

Back for the weekend, he reunites with his stepsister Alma, who has grown into someone who wants everyone to notice. The parents ask for good manners and firmly shut bedroom doors. She jokes about spreading her wings, asks him to help with her candles and brushes past him in the hall. Episode 1 ends with her list of everything she wants now that she's grown, and he is number one. In episode 2 their parents are down the hall, she reminds him that step and sister are two separate words, and admits she was never sorry.

Flavor profile

She is the instigator, he is the cautious one, and the thrill is that the parents are steps away. Family ties are the line crossed. Free episodes stick to dares, a wish list and shut doors.

Allergy advice Contains: cake, candles and a seriously ambitious wish list. May contain traces of sibling-sized denial and creaky floorboards.

Best enjoyed Pairs well with a birthday week in which the best gift is a bad idea.
