Chad Episode 1 Spoilers
‘Chad’ episode 1 will introduce us to the awkward yet innocent teenager, Chad, and his family. His father will be an absentee living in Iran. His Uncle Hamid has an extremely caring attitude towards his nephew. Hamid believes in his Persian/ Iranian values while Chad progressively tries to embrace the American culture. This will likely cause some friction between the two. Chad’s younger sister Niki will always be upon his case but loves him dearly. Chad will also frequently argue with his mom, Naz, but they share an overall cordial relationship.
Chad’s close friend Peter regularly hangs out with the cool kids but is fiercely loyal to Chad. Heading into his first year of high school, Chad will be determined to change his social image. He will devise a simple method to earn a seat at the cool kids’ table. He will lie about his sexual exploits among the popular kids. We do not see this ending well for Chad, and the naïve teenager will learn an important life lesson. The adolescent boy will desperately try to fit in and earn his peers’ validation, but his innocence will sometimes cause obstacles in his quest. Lastly, Chad’s life will take a drastic turn when his mom starts dating a man named Ikrimah. This could either help or derail his plans to become one of the popular kids.
