The big-hearted critically acclaimed half hour Peabody winning dramedy Sort Of (CBC/ HBO Max) from co-creators Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo follows millennial Sabi Mehboob (Baig) – the youngest child of Pakistani parents – as they navigate love, career, and family. Since its premiere, Sort Of has been making waves internationally. It was cited by Vanity Fair and The Hollywood Reporter, as one of the top TV shows of 2021 and The Rolling Stone magazine 2022, the series has been nominated for two GLAAD Media Awards, awarded Program of the Year at the 2022 Rockie Awards, 2022 MIPCOM Diversify TV Award for scripted representation of LGBTQ+, and C21 International Drama Award for Best Comedy-Drama series. In Season 2 Sabi is on a journey to make stronger choices, know their boundaries, and develop the self-worth to “take up space.” Have they finally started to figure things out? Sort of. Sort Of explores how the labels we once poured ourselves into are no longer applicable... to anyone.
