Degrassi: Next Class

I binged watched this show over and over and I really hope there will be another season!

This newest iteration of the long-running series brings with it a lot of the good (and a bit of the bad) of previous seasons. If you've ever enjoyed Degrassi or other teen dramas you'll likely find a lot to like about Next Class.

Sure there's the cheese factor, but Degrassi has always been able to mostly overcome this by approaching things with a level of earnestness that's hard to not find charming, and Next Class is no different.

The acting is certainly a mixed bag (part of the price of actually using teenagers to play teenagers), but there are several very good performances. Eric Osborn (Miles) and Spencer Macpherson (Hunter) in particular stand out.

All in all, Degrassi has always been a show that knew what it was and mostly succeeded in what it set out to do. Things don't change with Next Class, and in some ways they even get better.

I watched Degrassi when it aired on CTV a couple of times. When it moved to a different network started to loose interest. Although I did enjoy watching Luke Bilyk's character (in recent years).

The new Family Channel version of Degrassi, I have been watching all the way through. But a season of 10 episodes is a bit short. In my opinion. Some of the story lines and the new characters are quite laughable, even through it is suppose a teen drama. the diversity (in the show is nice to see as well). Zig, Miles and Tristan are my favorite characters. too bad Luke Bilyk's character didn't stay in it. that would have been perfect.

Soooo i just finished degrassi tng before this and was super excited for the franchise to be expanded but what was THISSSSS... there were obviously the stannable characters (zoe, miles, and grace) but netlix really ruined almost every other character and introduced literally the insufferable esme, giving her zero redemption arc, even though she was bpd coded, which was very upsetting to watch. There were no slow burn storylines and a lot of things were wrapped up within a few episodes, when it used to take entire seasons for some issues to be worked out in tng. The issues in this seemed shallow, as well as the relationships (except that adorable miles and tristan moment in the prom ep i literally sobbed my eyes out). SO upset that hbo max seemed to have dropped their interest in making another spinoff, i would love for this not to be the lasting impression of degrassi on the world.

I think that the serie is good but not that, I mean there is some good stories in the plot but there is also bad and boring. I think the serie is kinda repeating itself because of all it's season and spin-offs in my opinion the original degrassi and even degrassi the next generation is better than this.
