Teenage girls can have real storyline in GL
After watching the 6 episodes of Shades and waiting for the rest… wow, what a series! I absolutely loved Shades and the stories about these teenage girls in this strict private school, especially the dynamics between the girls.
Amy, Sophie, Nano, Jane, Earn, and Belle all have really interesting backgrounds that make them different from one another, while still connecting them in some way.
I found the themes explored in the series really interesting: underage sex work, grooming, and the dynamics between teenage girls during adolescence, with all the emotional intensity, rivalry, power struggles, and complex relationships that come with that stage of life.
I honestly didn’t think the storyline involving Teacher Nalin would interest me that much, but now I really want to know what happens next, especially with Teacher Mink.
Even the intimate scenes are well done and feel believable, which makes the series even more immersive.
I’m really excited for the rest of the story: how will Sophie and Amy’s relationship develop, especially with Sophie’s mother involved and Amy’s own relationship situation? Will Earn and Belle finally take the next step and get together? And what about Jane and Nano—will they resolve their debt issues and maybe grow closer?
One thing I found disappointing, though, was the kiss between Jane and Nano happening while Nano was drunk, since in my opinion she wasn’t in a position to give proper consent.
