Citizen Duane

Duane Balfour is a teen-aged Don Quixote born into a family of spectacular failure. What starts as a simple schoolyard rivalry snowballs out of control when Duane decides to run for mayor of the tiny town of Ridgeway. If Duane is to succeed, he must not only overcome the powerful incumbents, but also his own inadequacies, public perception, and history itself.

My take

A charming underdog comedy that captures the messy, hilarious reality of ambition meeting adolescence. Perfect for when you want something lighthearted but with actual heart—the kind of show that makes you root for the doomed protagonist despite knowing better.
