Synopsis
Betty (2020) is an HBO comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. It picks up the world of Crystal Moselle's film Skate Kitchen: a crew of young women rolls through New York City on their boards, carving out room in a scene the guys treat as theirs by default.
Camille chases respect from the pro skaters, Kirt builds an all-girl crew, Janay is torn between a friend and what she knows is right, while Honeybear and Indigo feel their way through hookups and odd jobs. The show barely bothers with plot rails — it runs on texture instead, real skaters playing versions of themselves, the camera catching summer, curbs and conversations on the move.
Moselle, who created and directed it, keeps the same loose documentary feel as the film: nothing glossy, nothing staged-looking. Short episodes and that unmistakable New York chatter make Betty perfect for anyone who'd take mood and atmosphere over a tight storyline. Stream the series online on iFILM.
