Hello, I remember watching what I think was the first episode of a new show as a kid in the 90s, possibly even the 80s. The main character is narrating how he was raised for over a decade in a cardboard box with a hole cut out so he could watch TV. Watching TV was all he could do for his whole childhood, and when he became an adult, he had to create his personality to fit the situation. He had to tell himself to display emotions, normal reactions, etc. Sounds like many of us neuro-divergents, so I wanted to watch it again. I thought that it must be The Pretender, but I am watching that now and it doesnt have anything about a cardboard box. Any ideas?
