Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, is an icon of children's TV. But when his family begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
I den djupt rörande och ibland svartkomiska tv-serien 'Kidding', får vi följa Jeff, spelad av den karismatiske Jim Carrey, som är hjärnan bakom ett älskat barnprogram. Jeffs offentliga persona står i skarp kontrast till hans privatliv, som börjar falla samman efter en familjetragedi. Serien utforskar hur Jeff, med hjälp av sin far Sebastian (Frank Langella) och syster Deirdre (Catherine Keener), kämpar för att behålla sin godhet och optimism i en alltmer cynisk värld. Skapad av Dave Holstein, hade 'Kidding' premiär 2018 och bjöd på två säsonger med totalt 20 avsnitt, varje avsnitt med en längd på cirka 30 minuter. Trots dess unika berättelse och starka skådespelarinsatser, har serien tyvärr lagts ner och inga fler avsnitt kommer att produceras.

Season two picks up moments after season one’s cliffhanger, and with his beloved Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time off the air for the first time in 30 years, Jeff Pickles must find a way to communicate with his many fans who still need him. Jeff creates a new and controversial method to talk directly to children across the world only to become the target of animosity for the first time in his career. As Jeff navigates the most complicated moral gray areas of his life, he discovers a new side of himself in a season full of music, magic, puppets and pathos.
In season 1, Jeff begins to push back against the limits of the well-oiled machine that is Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time. Seb begins preparing the show for a life after Jeff. Deirdre grapples with her own personal and professional life issues.
