Running with Scissors (2006)

US VH1 DramaComedy

Young Augusten Burroughs absorbs experiences that could make for a shocking memoir: the son of an alcoholic father and an unstable mother, he's handed off to his mother's therapist, Dr. Finch, and spends his adolescent years as a member of Finch's bizarre extended family.

🏳️‍🌈 Ryan Murphy's comedy-drama adaptation centers on young Augusten Burroughs navigating his eccentric household, explicitly incorporating a major gay male coming-of-age arc and his relationship with an older man.
