“Deeply Superficial” is a half-hour comedy with the quick witted humor of a 1990s sitcom, but with the artistic styling of a modern single-camera show. While quick paced, the show will also deal with relevant drama via hard-hitting current events. Taking cues from the hits Modern Family and Silicon Valley the series will be shot much more like a film, without a live audience.

Rooted in the present day, the show explores the realities and struggles Keith and his friends and family face in the search for love, acceptance and career being constantly contrasted with the unattainable ideal of happiness
