“So Weird” (IMDB/Disney Channel)
As a kid, my favorite show was about death. Well, not just death: it was also about faith, sacrifice and trying to make sense of life’s ineffable mysteries. Strangest of all, I watched it on the Disney Channel.
ran for three seasons from 1999 to 2001. It was Disney’s attempt to create a kid-friendly version of “The X-Files,” tapping into an in-vogue fascination with ghosts, alien encounters and other paranormal phenomena. In practice, it became something more: a meditation on mystery and mortality.
It was an enormously important piece of art for me as a young person, reflecting my own fears and fascinations with the strange, complicated world of adulthood. As I’ve grown up it has only become more resonant, and my appreciation for its artful handling of grief, faith and life’s big questions has only deepened. “So Weird” is a rare TV show that can speak to you at both 14 and 34.
