Centering on a gender-fluid Toronto millennial of Pakistani heritage, this eight-part Canadian comedy about identity is not self-important or in your face. So let me assure you that I'm not being dismissive when I praise the new HBO Max series Sort Of for its modesty. If you call a TV show 'modest,' it sounds as if you're saying that it's bland and unambitious, a loser in the great Squid Game of modern life. These days, of course, our world is dominated by people - and by expressions of pop culture - that keep telling you they're big and important. It may be hard to believe, but modesty was once considered a virtue. Bilal Baig plays the non-binary child of Pakistani immigrants in Sort Of.
