Episodes
Are You Ready to be a Dad?
In the chaos of unplanned beginnings and overwhelming emotions, five teen boys from Auckland to Temuka begin their journeys into fatherhood.
No Two Dads Are the Same
Across ultrasounds, crowded homes, and hard truths, each boy faces early fatherhood carved by what they have - and what life throws at them.
The Ones Who Show Up
When the blueprint for fatherhood is fractured, the boys look to those who’ve stuck by them as they forge their way through broken homes, hard choices, and fears they never thought they’d face.
Piece by Piece
Caught between who they are and who they need to be, the boys tackle pressure, loss, love, and the demands of growing up fast - trying to piece it together as adulthood becomes all too real.
The Ones We Lean On
In the wake of proposals, long shifts, and quiet acts of care, the boys lean into the love and friendships that keep them going - even when they feel like they’re falling behind.
From Boyhood to Fatherhood
Shaped by their first-hand experience, the boys come to understand - and define for themselves - what it means to be a father.
