Phony is a coming-of-age mystery about a teenager who wakes up in the hospital after a car accident to discover his mom - his only parent and his best friend - appears to have been replaced by an impostor.
How to get through Phony faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 10 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 3 hours; at 1.5× it's 2.5 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
