These expectations rear their head in the achievements of Zach&#8217;s younger brother Andy (Cameron Palatas), a sports star, scholar, and an all-around impressive young man with no shortage of girls who want to date him. The only problem is that Zach wants more than his parents expect of him. He can&#8217;t bring himself to embody the qualities that Andy so effortlessly does, such as marketability, stability, or datability.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nZach, as you may have guessed, wants to be famous. He has directed his life&#8217;s savings toward hiring a camera crew to follow him around all day, every day, as he interacts with his family and friends and works on his strategy for getting famous. The footage itself reveals an insecure, unsure and chaotic kid who has no business sense, no idea what he&#8217;s doing, and no skills with which to market himself.

It&#8217;s his determination that will propel him to success.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the heartfelt moments of the show that really spoke to viewers, like the time Zach went to a college party and considered enrolling in classes like everybody else, but realized he had nothing in common with the people around him and boldly decided to continue on his own, solo way. His sweet love for Amy and willingness to give up everything for her tugs at everybody&#8217;s heartstrings. Finally, his general self-absorption interrupted by moments where he comes through for his loved ones in grandiose ways were the perfect blend of the typical with the impossible. The show pushed the message that you must both work almost blindly hard <em>and <\/em>abandon yourself to circumstances to succeed.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nThere are few people who watched this show who didn&#8217;t love and root for Zach and want to see what happened to him. Did he really become famous? Did he and Amy stick together? And finally, did he continue to resist change and the status quo like we were all rooting for him to? Maybe someday, Bo Burnham will boldly give us our answers, just as he beautifully gave us our voice back in lockdown.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! -->\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
