The Buddha of Suburbia(1993)

The Buddha of Suburbia is a British drama series following Karim, a 17-year-old navigating life in a South London suburb caught between two worlds. His English mother and Pakistani father—who has become an unlikely spiritual guru to their middle-class neighbours—shape his coming-of-age journey. As Karim seeks to explore his cultural identity and heritage, he pursues sexual and racial self-discovery, wrestling with belonging in a community that doesn't quite fit him. The series captures the tensions of adolescence, cultural hybridity, and the search for authenticity in 1980s suburban England.
