grown-ish

Leaving home for college gives Zoey Johnson freedom she is not entirely prepared to manage. Her new friends bring their own ambitions, mistakes and questions about adulthood, including Nomi Segal, whose bisexuality is easier to share with peers than with her parents. Nomi's search for a more honest romantic life includes a relationship with Professor Paige Hewson, where attraction is complicated by the imbalance between student and teacher. Her queer story belongs to the original student ensemble, within a comedy that shifts its attention among friendship, sex, education and the practical consequences of growing up. Sapphic storyline seasons: Nomi is part of the original college ensemble, S1–4; Nomi/Professor Paige Hewson is a S2 arc involving a student–teacher power imbalance.
