Fairfax - new on Amazon Prime

Fairfax New to Prime Video. It's an irreverent animated comedy following the misadventures of thirteen year-olds Dale, Derica, Benny and Truman, four best friends on a never-ending quest for clout. It’s a modern look at the timeless struggle to be cooler than you are, to fit in while standing out, and what it feels like to wait in line for a pair of sneakers you’re never going to cop.
