Genre: Comedy
Type: Series
Part of the Minute Universe, this series follows Darrell, a risk-averse, middle-aged man battling anxiety and sleep apnea, who finds his life unexpectedly upended by a contaminated CPAP machine. A mishap with forgotten mushroom juice turns his nightly sleep therapy into a series of increasingly bizarre and uproarious hallucinations.
Initially, Darrell experiences a surge of confidence and well-being, allowing him to navigate his demanding job and his feelings for a coworker, Katie, with newfound assertiveness. However, as the hallucinations intensify, his grip on reality loosens, leading to surreal encounters and absurd situations.
Guided by his altered perceptions, Darrell embarks on a series of accidental quests, encountering talking objects, cartoonish coworkers, and warped versions of his own past. With the reluctant help of his eccentric colleague, Barry, Darrell confronts his deepest anxieties and insecurities in a series of increasingly absurd scenarios.
As Darrell eventually uncovers the source of his hallucinations, he faces a choice: embrace the transformative potential of his hallucinogenic journey or retreat to the safety of his former, anxiety-ridden life. In the end, Darrell emerges with a hard-won self-acceptance, a touch of newfound confidence, and the realization that sometimes, the most unexpected journeys can lead to the greatest self-discovery.
