A Gifted Young Teen And Middle-Child Tries To Survive Among His Dysfunctional Family

An offbeat dramedy about a bizarrely dysfunctional family, the center of which is Malcolm, the middle child in-between his two brothers who still live at home.

Malcolm often has a hard time coping with his family life, but he has more troubles to contend with when he starts receiving special treatment at school after being diagnosed as an intellectually advanced genius and enduring an eccentric, although eerily normal life.

The series was different in many ways as Malcolm broke the “fourth wall” and talked directly to the viewer.

Also, emulating the style of hour-long dramas, the show was shot on film, using a single camera; and neither used a laugh track or live studio audience.
