I’m glad to see a show that actually highlights the issues teenagers face today, instead of lots of unrealistic expectations.
It’s a difficult show to watch depending on your experiences.
But, there are realistic happier outcomes, which is a positive message to young people.
I hate people looking down on today’s teenagers and who spout the “back in my day” crap. It’s a very different world. However, I don’t ignore the issues that people in the past faced. Every generation faces difficulties.
I remember my teenage years, my eldest’s too. He’s 11yrs older than my next two children and in those 11yrs things have dramatically changed for the worst. I’ve lost my daughter to the Angels due to today’s situation. So, I’m glad to see a show that deals with the issues in someway and I hope it helps someone.
It was also a well done show, great acting and good to watch.
One of the few 2020 shows I didn't catch last year. I enjoyed this a lot, it does feel like something made in the veins of My So-Called Life but for the 21st Century with multiple diverse storylines. Each character got me invested in the first installment and I was on board with their stories until...

Although I usually take out the behind the scenes occurrences of a series or film out of my opinion (I don't mention Roman Polanski's personal life every time I watch one of his films), it was difficult to do this after reading this article midway through the season. I'm a Latino who has experienced numerous Karen's block me from achieving my creative endeavors because their ideation of what a Latino or anyone of a different race or ethnicity is that we need a white savior to tell our stories for us instead of allowing us to tell them ourselves. I'm not a fan of that. This is Katie Cappiello's show, she's the creator and wrote most of the episodes. I believe she can decide who she will listen to in terms of the show's direction. I won't spoil much, but many of the characters of color end up in places that seem untrue to their identities and in the end the only character who appeared victorious in their obstacle was the straight white woman.
I love watching shows that I have never heard of before. Just see them popping up on my netflix startpage. Immediately started watching as I am a big fan of such shows. It is serious but also gives you a good feeling whenever a group of friends is having fun together. I like that mix. Reminds me of Skins (a little more american though).
didn’t like it that much, only watched for hot characters - a bit cringe and screams white feminism
This show is not popular enough, it deserves to be!

I thought this would be a dumb TV series about highschool and all its clichés, just to watch when I'm burned out from my day and not pay attention. Boy was I wrong, yeah its about highschool, yeah there are silly things but it also hits me on a deeper level with all the issues they adres. Yeah you could say it is typical 2019, 2020 stuff to throw all of these issues at your face. To be honest they are real though and they really did a great job showcasing it in this show, the acting was surprising, it felt real and character development was pretty good also. You have your standard bunch of side characters, but the core is promising. Pretty psyched for a season 2 (if it does come out).
