‘Days Like Dese’ is a 30-minute sitcom that delves deep into the daily lives of a diverse ‘socially responsible’ middle-class Guyanese family, the Rupauls. The sitcom inspects and highlights the intricacies of family and community interactions through blurred racial and social lens.

The sitcom through its intentionally diverse and mixed casting, intends to remind us of how connected we really are as Guyanese. The Rupaul family exists not only in a racial blender, but a social and generational one; as we get to see how the youth and the older folk try and sometimes struggle to bridge the generational and social gaps.

Viewers will feel connected with this family as they journey with them, traversing terrains that may sometimes be considered controversial, but always palatable.
