About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want honest, issue-driven coming-of-age drama in the vein of Degrassi or My So-Called Life; Not for you if you prefer glossy escapism or lighter, joke-heavy school stories.
Pros: realistic teen issues; relatable school life; sensitive storytelling | Cons: uneven acting; sometimes corny; dated 80s style
