Premise

Davey and Jonesie are best friends who feel out of step with their peers and the banal backdrop of their high school, Schrödinger High. After ruining the school dance with one of their signature protests, they flee the threat of being separated by their principal and stumble into a multi-dimensional portal in their locker, built by their science teacher, Mr. Schneider.⁶

Schneider is a disgraced quantum physicist who built the portal to re-sync with every version of himself across the multiverse, a plan ruined when the girls went through. Instead of escaping their reality, Davey and Jonesie keep landing in bizarre alternate versions of their own high school populated by offbeat versions of their classmates. A Delinquent Acquisition Deputy (D.A.D.) from the Management Organization of the Multiverse (M.O.M.) pursues them, determined to send them to a Detention Dimension and permanently erase their memories of each other.⁶

The multiverse premise is used to explore teenage anxieties. The two friends fear being split into separate classes, worry they have alienated their classmates after the dance stunt, and are repeatedly told "You don't belong here" during their travels; by the final episode their friendship has found new footing.⁹

Production

The series was produced by Marblemedia, a Blue Ant Media company, as a 10 × 30-minute commission for Hulu in the United States and Amazon's Prime Video in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand; it was shopped to international partners at Mipcom in October 2023.² The Ontario Creates production list of May 5, 2023 records season 1 shooting in Toronto from April 10 to June 5, 2023, with Bruce McDonald directing and Carrie Paupst Shaughnessy and Evany Rosen as executive producers.³ Hulu's press release credits executive producers Mark J.W.

Trauth, and Rosen, with Donna Luke and Stephanie Kaliner as co-executive producers, and notes the series was made in association with Hulu and Prime Video with financial participation of the Shaw Rocket Fund.⁶

Reception

The show holds an IMDb rating of 6.0⁴ and an 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, where no critic reviews had been tallied.⁸ Common Sense Media called it a "surrealist and quirky comedy" comparable to a teen-friendly version of Everything Everywhere All at Once, noting that jokes land unevenly but praising a teen comedy in which girls get to be heroes while being unapologetically weird; it recommended the show for ages 12 and up.¹¹ A Pajiba review described the series as unself-consciously silly, leaning into goofball humor rather than gravitas, and noted its use of familiar science-fiction tropes and low-fi effects.⁹

Both lead performers received 2025 Canadian Screen Award nominations for Best Lead Performer, Children's or Youth, for the series.⁷
