LATE BLOOMER

Late Bloomer is a comedy series that follows the everyday life of Jasmeet Dutta, your average turban wearing ‘live at home’ millennial. Jasmeet, like many others his age, continuously feels like he’s behind in life as he witnesses his peers with seemingly thriving careers and picture perfect marriages. The added pressure as an eldest son within an immigrant household is, of course, not really helping either. Working as a driver for a family run Tiffin business (delivering Indian home cooked meals to students), he decides to start a video blog and share the frustrations of his mediocre attempts at adulthood. As a result, he finds himself striking a chord with a steadily growing internet audience who can relate to his journey.

Jasmeet, like many first generation children of immigrants, stems from a deeply rooted Indo-Canadian community and constantly finds himself balancing his cultural Eastern roots while adapting Western ideals of discovering a sense of self. This show tackles themes like dating as a POC (person of colour), digital-age friendships, self-growth with a million modern distractions, spirituality and dealing with a dysfunctional (yet loving) Punjabi family. All this while navigating the Wild West of online celebrity and becoming an unlikely voice of an unheard generation.

Throughout Jasmeet’s journey in the show, he crosses paths with a variety of colourful characters, outlandish dilemmas, and trying situations that challenge the very notions of who he is. As a result, Jasmeet begins to question if his “internet life” is actually doing more harm than good as the therapeutic nature of his online persona begins to affect as many bridges as it builds.

And this is what Late Bloomer is all about. Following Jasmeet and his friends as he tries to fit in somewhere between being a C-level internet celebrity and a cultural icon and his personal journey can be relatable and surprisingly universal. Many people have a desire for acceptance within worlds they might feel they don’t fully belong to and Jasmeet is no different.
