Total Forgiveness might be Dropout's most uncomfortable show.

What starts out as a Game Changer like show focused on helping Ally Beardsley and Grant O'Brian pay off their student loans quickly turns into a documentary on what financial desperation can do to a friendship in real time.

In this video, I look back at Total Forgiveness in order to figure out how a show being made in real time went from a light hearted comedy to a dark documentary, and why I don't think Dropout could ever recreate it even if they tried.

Watching the show slip out of their control and tumble from a comedy to a documentary is so painful yet so fascinating
