As viewers we are able to learn more about our favorite characters over an extended period of time. As an old fan of Degrassi, I have to admit that the early seasons of Degrassi were some of the best.
The storylines were of a better quality and the show overall was at its prime stage. Therefore, seeing older characters pop in here and there is very exciting. Degrassi first started in and over the years, they have produced 13 seasons of content!
So this means that if you are just getting on the Degrassi bandwagon, you can just binge on the whole show. No breaks, no commercials, no waiting for the next season!
With the show on air for 13 years now, it really seems like it will never get cancelled. Plus, with new cast members coming in every time the seniors graduate, this show can go on forever!
This show is nothing but 14 year-olds wanting to have sex, drink, and look at pornography this happens in real life, but the acting is horrible! It is horrid. I enjoyed the first two seasons, but now it's going downhill FAST!
Kids make bad decisions all the time and there's no repercussions. Absolutely NO respect for one another. Absolutely NO loyalty This kind of promotion is dangerous! I certainly hope that this is not reflective of what really goes on in our schools today. This show is well-done for a teen-targeted show, but the over-the-top ethnic and nationality stereotypes that the viewer is bombarded with is laughable and offensive. What ironic is that this Canadian show was clinging to the types of stereotypes that had fallen out of fashion on American TV 20 years earlier.
Most of the topics it touches on span generations, both before and after the s, and rarely does it treat any serious subject with any type of religious, cultural, or political zealotry or righteousness. The subject matter is usually approached realistically and fairly, something that makes this show far, far superior to typical American teen dramas which ALWAYS handle subjects with a leftist self-righteousness that makes them cringe-worthy and hard to stomach for half of America.
A show in decline AlexanderExtazy 23 May After watching 13th season.. I am quite shocked at the turn this series took from 1st season until today.
One thing I was shocked by watching throughout all seasons is the amount of mental illness Canada has First symptom of mental illness is the belief that the world revolves around you, which seems to me is a belief every character has. Nonetheless I loved the early seasons since I used to watch them when I was in high school in Canada and they really reminded me of the good old times The direction of the events are totally messed up and everything ends in the result that the director thinks is "right" The first generation seasons were much better and more serious than the later ones.
By events I mean events such as Rebecca standing against her family when she spent a lifetime being raised a Christian and all the sudden, the director transforms her into a gay person in less than 1 episode..
Now the trial is something else.. All the factors lead to Zoe losing the trial case when all the sudden she shows up near the end of the court which is highly unacceptable in real courts and with a low voice she managed to decide the outcome of her trial.
Not to mention the director placed Rebecca's unthoughtful statement just to convict her brother.. What else can I say about this show other than the fact that its glory days died with the casting of Jimmy, Paige, Elli, and the rest of them. Bad Acting nolanjwerner 7 August Okay, the acting in this show is so so so so so bad. No one in this show can deliver a line and not have it seem like they are reading it off their hand. Even in emotional scenes it is like they have no idea what an emotion is really like.
Ashley, Craig who looks more like Shaggy then Matthew Lillard ever could, complete with the glazed over look and Paige whoever the actors are--I mean I doubt they will go on to much seeing their performances on this are the best actors on the show but alas that means about as much as being the smartest kid who rides the short bus to school.
Once you are past the dreadfully bad acting if you can get past that, odds are you won't then you have the hollow two-dimensional characters Bret Easton Ellis looks like a master of characterisation compared to this show , the unrealistic plots for REAL middle school watch WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, the single most realistic film ever and the idiotic dialogue It almost seems like a Family Guy parody of a teen drama, I await the day when the producers will admit that this show was actually a wry satire about the shallowness of the contemporary Canadian teen--at least then the show would be justified in having such terrible dialogue.
We Americans may have made a lot of bad television shows but the entire country of Canada should be ashamed that such a terrible programme was allowed to leave their borders. They should have quarrantined this programme and let it die.
There's no better show for teens xxlittlekittenxx 15 January This may not live up to the level of the original '80s Degrassi series, but I still think this is the best new show ever for the set age group preteens and teens. This NOT a fluffy and unrealistic show like Dawson's Creek or Saved By The Bell; it deals with issues many kids face in real life discrimination, drugs, rumors, and so forth , and often like in real life, things don't just get back to normal at the end of each episode.
The characters on this show range from fantastic to 'eh. Terri is VERY sweet and goes to show you that you don't have to be underweight to be beautiful. Sean's often misunderstood. Most see him as a rebel, but he's really a sensitive and loving kid who comes from a bad family. Tobey and J. I don't care much for Liberty or Paige for the fact that they're a bit over the top.
Emma's self-righteous at times, but she's still a good character she's also the daughter of one of the original Degrassi characters, Spike. Manny, Ashley, Jimmy, Spinner, and Craig are all okay too.
I'd say more about these characters but I don't want it to get too long! Degrassi: TGN is a breath of fresh air from all the crummy teen shows on nowadays. For one thing, you really can relate to certain characters and plots I can really relate to the pilot episode where Emma finds out that someone she meets from online isn't who she quite expects.
I wasn't so careful about who I talked to online back when I did. That would be incredible. Imme-van-Gorp 28 January Top five characters: 1 J. If I were Paige and knew that Rick was abusing Terri, I would have told and got Rick arrested for all the abuse he was giving her and even to that day, Terri would have hated me for that even though we still went to Degrassi together and graduated from there together, but I rather have her still at Degrassi and graduating from there with me and hating me than in a coma and sent to a private school after recovery and I could have at least stepped in and said something.
Terri's dad was right about what he said. Paige, Spinner, Hazel and Jimmy should have done something. I'm so sad about what happened after Terri's recovery.
I felt so bad for Terri in Season 3. The show should be on netfixe the old one and the new degrass i am a big fan off the show. The show has been on for more than seven years. Instead of killing the show off when the seniors graduated or adding new students , they decided to show them off in college. The characters were created as middle and high schoolers and then with TV magic we are now suppose to buy them as Coolio College kids when they just got lame.
Lastly "Veronica Mars" This was an awesome show then they decided to make her a lame college student, show got cancelled. This show is not very realistic. I'm sorry but how many underage high school students have gay college lovers like the character Marco did with Dylan?
It's probably not a great idea to condone relationships between underage teens and older college students. It was all animated. So we were very fresh and then I think the next year we did three half hours and then it took me about six years to do the first 26 episodes.
As an independent producer, you never know from one year to the next how your funding is going to unfold. Talk to me about how you came into this show, Sarah. It was just sort of in my heart.
That was a thing that I really wanted and then I graduated and Linda and I met and within a year or so, I was working on the show. I sort of grew up as a writer on the show. It is such an interesting niche. When Netflix came to you, what is it they said excited them about the brand?
Schuyler: Well, to be fair, we went to Netflix [laughs]. And at the end of that, we graduated a whole bunch of characters. So, we took this to Netflix. We did a big pitch about a year ago. This is where the kids are watching.
