Charlie Bartlett
A socially awkward teen launches an underground therapy service to win friends at a new high school, but his reckless prescription habit pits him against teachers, parents, and his own conscience.
“Popularity is a state of mind.”
Synopsis
Awkward teenager Charlie Bartlett struggles to fit in at his new high school. Determined to make friends quickly, he decides to position himself as the school's unofficial psychiatrist. By offering advice—and sometimes medication—to his classmates, Charlie becomes one of the most popular students in the school.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
