Well i really like Bo Burnham, his shows and his songs. I were very obsessed with him around 2020 and uhm in that time i started watching everything of him. I started watching this series in 2020, i loved it i totally loved it!
I mean ofcourse i like Bo Burnham but i swear i'm always honest to myself about those things but this show just made me laugh felt relatable and were very intrestering to me!
It's about a boy who is different then other normal teens named Zach Stone and he wants to be famous and starts filming his life. Zach Stone is Bo Burnham by the way.
Zach Stone graduated from High School.

Zach stone combines the cliches of teenage drama tropes with a striking hyper-awareness of the desire to be seen. Almost seamlessly we see both Zach's narcissistic aspirations and self-conscious growing pains play out before his hired camera crew. The series uniquely comments on reality television, media consumption, pining for digital immortality, and the wavering fear of growing up.
While I wish there was more to watch the series wrapped itself up perfectly, leaving the viewers with the autonomy to determine the future of our Zach Stone. Definitely worth the second watch, and if you haven't already, give it a try.

I must preface this by saying I miiiight be a little biased - this is my biggest comfort show. But, I've had other comfort shows, and I didn't feel this highly about them! This show makes me feel so many things in a way no other piece of media has ever made me feel. This show, at it's core, is about the sadness and loneliness of a young adult named Zach Stone who just wants people to like him. On the outside, from the first episode, it seems like the show is just going to be about some crazy high school graduate who's obsessed with himself doing anything to get fame, but as you continue, you realize that really, Zach just wants people to like him, because he doesn't like himself. This sentiment resonates with myself and many other teens and young adults. This show is emotional and funny at the same time, and is possibly Bo's best work.
Wonderful show. If you are a fan of Bo Burnham's material, then you know what to expect. A great, well thought out idea, expertly executed that will have you laughing one moment and feel sad the next. Witty, funny and still full of emotion and meaning. There isn't really anything like this show out there. Well done, well done! Even if this show was made 8 years ago, it is still just as relevant. If not more so.
I had never heard of this little gem until it popped up on my Netflix page. Seeing it starred Bo Burnham I was intrigued. I had no idea this was something he did almost a decade ago.
I loved this show so much. Seeing a young, semi-manic Bo allows the viewer into his head somewhat. ZSIGTBF shows the beginnings of the genius he becomes in his stand up and specials. He's a genius to say the least. This show could have been made today and it would be relevant. A teen who wants to be famous but has nothing to offer for that to happen is literally the Instagram and TikTok of today. The difference is that this show is funny, smart, and tender at times. It looks like MTV did a poor job of promoting this show when they had it. Ironic since the theme is insta-fame via in your face media.
