Sterling K. Brown portrays a father whose high expectations lead to emotional turmoil within the family, prompting reflections on masculinity and vulnerability. This clip from "Waves" throws you right into a raw and emotional family argument between a son, Tyler, and his parents. When his stepmother finds out about alcohol and stolen keys, the conflict escalates rapidly. Tyler's rebellion and harsh words, especially towards his stepmother and father, expose the deep fractures within the family. It's a powerful, raw look at teen rebellion and strained relationships under immense pressure.

Think about this.

What pressures do young men face that can lead to these kinds of family conflicts, and how can those situations be handled differently?
