I am a 28-year-old vegan with a stable job, a nice apartment, and conservative investments. Throughout my life, I’ve been told I look five years younger but act five years older than my actual age. And yet, I finished Michelle Obama’s new children’s show,

The show is comic book writer Mark Millar’s (Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Marvel’s Civil War) first big production from his massive deal with Netflix, premiering Friday, May 7. And sure, it foregrounds generational conflict like Amazon’s animated hit “Invincible” and boasts similar, if mercifully less, of that show’s graphic violence. It jumps back and forth through time, lik
