Defined as a typical adolescent teen wracked by ambivalence and insecurities, Sam Zamblowski (Taj Cross) makes some dubious decisions on the show that makes one question his intelligence quotient. The rival and next-door neighbor who slowly becomes Maya's love interest goes about it all wrong on the beloved Hulu original series.
Just when Maya develops feelings for Sam, he lacks the social and emotional intelligence to recognize such and immediately begins dating another girl.
Later, Sam picks the worse time to reveal he was Flymiamibro22 in the singles chatroom all along, prompting Maya's ire. Sam also teases both girls over their weight gain, oblivious that they would feel hurt by his comments in a way that shows his lack of awareness.
Silly, fun-loving, and rarely around, Maya's father Fred (Richard Karn) is a world-class drummer who uses his talents to tour the country as part of a Steely Dan cover band.
Rhythmically-inclined, Fred's intelligence comes in perfecting a musical skillset that allows him to provide for his family.
