I really enjoyed this show but the executions for solving the teen's problems seemed too easy? Like, I'm glad everything worked out at the end of each mini storyline! But I feel like it may not always be the appropriate message to send to kids watching? That if they tried to solve these problems the way the characters in the show did, it probably wouldn't end well? That said, the characters were easy to understand without being simple and the acting was good! I really liked the concept too. The inter-personal drama was well portrayed, especially for the main character. A lot of it was well written and the student's reactions to/understandings of the situations felt realistic.
I do want to give a content warning for child abuse, suicidal ideation, and teenage pregnancy (idk if this last one is something that people like to be warned about but I added just in case)
SPOILER WARNING:
One conclusion I thought was really well done was the conclusion to the gay kid's story. They weren't outed and the few people who realized were pretty lovely about it (I still don't like that girlfriend character but the main girlie and the crush's acknowledgement scenes were sweet and they made me cry).
I also found the scene with the bully on top of the building really triggering. The way he was portrayed as totally out-of-it was similar to how I have experienced those worst times.
