Grown -ish

When it comes to Satire the first example that came to mind was a very newly popular show entitled Grown-ish. It is an American sitcom based around a young girl named Zoey whom is taking her first steps into the ¨real world¨ as she heads off to college. It ¨ explores the first trappings of adulthood¨. She must now ¨ navigate through the trials and tribulations¨ of the momentous steps that is ahead of her. Soon as she ¨ discovers that once she leaves the nest, things do not always go her way¨. The series features, ¨ that in between place where you´re not quite an adult but facing grown world problems for the first time. 

This show in particular uses two of the main forms of satire. The first form would be verbal which is what is said is the opposite of what is meant. This show constantly uses the verbal form of satire which is essential based around the entire show. There is situational irony where it is the appearance of things is opposite of the reality. This as well is shown throughout the show. More specifically in the first episode of the show Zoey was sitting in one of her classes and her teacher came in with a box of puppies that he were illegally trying to sell and then proceeds to hand out an assignment and leaves the classroom. 

This show is simply not making fun of people or institutions but is untimely trying to change society simply because it is as a reality verses expectation. More so directed for teens and young adults of things that are over exaggerated when it comes to college and the truths about it in comedic way.
