“What I really wanted was to be in service of a story that was going to be told truthfully and capture experiences that [are] familiar [to me], but I feel like the media hasn’t made the space for it yet,” says Bilal Baig, the co-creator of SortOf.
that focuses on Sabi Mehboob, a reserved, stylish nanny-slash-bartender juggling cheating boyfriends, problematic bosses, concerned Pakistani parents, and a potential move to Berlin—all delivered with the same deadpan humour that saved Baig in the schoolyard. The show revels in the everyday lives of Sabi and friends, a real pleasure in a media landscape filled with trans and BIPOC trauma.
The bits are brought beautifully to life by a cast stacked with trans, queer and non-binary performers. Whether it’s Sabi crashing into a fence door after an awkward break-up or their bestie condemning their ex’s “stupid cis-normie boners” and reflecting on “how small-minded we were in high school, like GO-Training to the Eaton Centre was expanding our horizons?”—the humour is lived-in, warm, real, both refreshingly local and universal.
