Watch new episodes 3pm Fridays!

Your twenties are already a chaotic cocktail of existential dread, student loans, and figuring out how to boil an egg. But for Sophia Malthus, things got a little extra when a horse-riding accident at 19 left her a quadriplegic. Enter Indy, her cousin—flat broke, and clinging to her acting dreams—who stepped in as Soph’s carer. It was a match made in mildly dysfunctional heaven.

Fast forward two years and, apart from longer hair and slightly deeper emotional scars, not much has changed… or has it? In series two, Soph is on the brink of becoming a real-life lawyer (yes, objections and all), and Indy has ditched the stage for the whiteboard, pursuing a career in teaching.

But before they dive into adulthood with matching tote bags and professional burnout, they're still in their final study stretch, still flatting, still bickering, and still proving that disability doesn't get in the way of a big life... Just add more snacks, sarcasm, and sideways glances to the mix.

Together, Soph and Indy dive into these conversations head-on, meeting with experts and exploring how to make life in your twenties more accessible, empowering, and a little bit easier for people like Soph.
