‘Over the Garden Wall,’ the perfect autumn watch, is an allegory for the loss of youth

With the leaves changing color on Tufts campus, it’s time to talk about the perfect cozy fall mini-series. Patrick McHale’s 2014 animated television series “Over the Garden Wall” is a modern classic; its 10 episodes, each only 11 minutes long,overflow with whimsy and wonder. But behind it all, the show grapples with themes of changing seasons and stages of life, dreams versus reality and childhood wonder.
