this show is meant to be relatable. i get it ironically. i'll tell you why. i know, i wasn't in high school in the year 2000. i was only in 5th grade. that's a long way off from 12th grade. i realize this. but this particular group of kids was from a high school in austin. hello, i grew up just like 45 minutes from here. every place, every road, every building shown in the show--i've seen it all. i also do remember every event or occurrence the show alludes to: 9/11, katrina, enron, britney spears. you know, all the worst things about the past ten years.
i had high, high hopes for this show. i wouldn't say it let me down because it didn't. that being said, it also didn't quite possess as strong of a 'wow' factor as i would have liked. that only means there's room for improvement. and i do have even higher hopes that it will progressively improve down the road.
for those of you who don't know, this show is a fiction documentary type. think the office minus all the humor plus thirty minutes and lots of dramatic intertwining relationships. might be unpleasant for some, but for someone who loves drama, it's just the show. hence my liking to it.
