About
In 1996, suburban teenager Owen bonds with Maddy over a mysterious late-night TV show that presents a supernatural world beneath their own.
In 1996, shy teenager Owen lives in the suburbs and has few friends. He meets Maddy, a classmate who introduces him to The Pink Opaque, a mysterious late-night television show. The series follows teenagers Isabel (Helena Howard) and Tara (Lindsey Jordan), who use a psychic connection to fight the supervillain Mr. Melancholy. Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Jack Haven) develop a shared obsession with the show; Maddy says it feels more real to her than her own life. Because the programme airs past Owen's bedtime and his father disapproves, Owen sneaks out to Maddy's house to watch it with her, and she gives him tapes when he misses episodes.
