Degrassi: Next Class

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 love this show and it's one of the greatest show of all time

I watched this season with both hope and some trepidation. Having been a fan of Degrassi TNG since season 1 I actually had low hopes for the 'remix'. Let's face it;the franchise has been in decline since season 6 or 7. However that didn't keep me from watching from time to time.

To begin, I actually really like the updated theme song and overall look and feel of the show. I'm not sure where Linda Shuler (sp) & co. got the cash infusion, but even the lighting is better. I also love the increased attention to tech. Being a tech writer, I can appreciate their efforts. I know kids don't necessarily speak in Instagram or "facerange" speak, yet it's a sort of inside joke to us techies.

The issues are typically Degrassi 'ish'. Let's face it, the show has always bordered on preachy-corny, occasionally hitting the mark, but for some reason, like a well worn comfortable shoe, we always come back.

I'm hoping Degrassi can find a new niche and audience in Netflix, its rare for a series to ever get to 15 seasons. It probably wouldn't be possible if all the previous seasons weren't underwritten by the Canadian government (true story, check their end credits sometime). But we love you Degrassi and hope we can all reinroll as "niners" next season.

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.

Feels very true to the current high school experience.
