What is Sydney to the Max About?
The show follows Sydney Reynolds, a 12-year-old girl living in Portland, Oregon. She lives with her dad, Max, and her grandma, Judy. Sydney is trying to figure out middle school life with her best friend, Olive.
What makes the show special is that it also shows flashbacks to 1992. These flashbacks are about Sydney's dad, Max, when he was 12 years old. Young Max and his friend Leo work at an arcade in a shopping mall. The cool part is that Sydney and young Max often find themselves in very similar situations, even though they live in different times!
