About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, dialogue-heavy teen drama about friendships and shifting romances from high school into early adulthood, similar to Felicity or Beverly Hills, 90210; Not for you if you dislike soapier storylines or find the characters frustrating.
Pros: relatable coming-of-age themes; strong character growth; addictive teen drama | Cons: melodrama can feel soap-like; some characters annoy viewers; later seasons uneven
