Okay.

So first, this is a show on HBO and thus is pretty mature. The protagonist is a middle-aged obese woman in Kansas who has a gay best friend and a trans acquaintance. The show starts as she's still stuck in her hometown after caring for her sister who died of cancer. She has an alcoholic mom and an aging dad.  I'll be honest: this is not my typical TV fare. However, the show is funny and incredibly touching. There's a whole lot of tenderness and kindness here as the town misfits navigate some tough stuff. Anyhow, IF your parents are cool with you watching more mature TV, give this one a shot. Give it at least 2-3 episodes to really get invested in the characters. Season 2 is just out and it's even better.

Warning: Trailer has mature language.
