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.
I've loved this show since I was a little kid. Being 21 years old now I still have a love for it. However I wish things wouldn't happen quite so quickly. I wish they would take more episodes to develop certain issues. I also kind of miss the adults having their own story line as well. Parents with issues who are dealing with real things other than their children being crazy all the time. They just feel like the people who show up when bad things happen rather than the way it use to be with Spike and the adults. I loved having the adult story lines because it made it more real with their interactions with the kids. The care they had for the kids was more in depth than just being their as a comforter. With that said- I really want the show to continue and will support it on Netflix.

Show could of been way better if it was longer. Plots felt rushed and underdeveloped. You can tell the writers were trying to do 100 things at once with not enough time.

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.

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.

The Wiki description says it all. "Degrassi: Next Class is a Canadian teen drama."
If that doesn't make you want to see what kind of train wreck this show is, I don't know what's wrong with you (Maybe you still have faith in humanity.)
Do you think a good television show looks like a UNICEF commercial? Degrassi has you covered. Complex characters who's depth is that of a shallow pool with a sad little man at the bottom shouting, "DO YOU GET IT HE'S GAY? Look how progressive we are. We even have lesbians and inter-sectional feminism."
Have you ever wondered what tumblr would be like in the medium of television? Meet Degrassi: Next Class.
Seriously though, I would recommend watching it if not just for the allusions to gamergate with the swatting. Imagine the SVU episode, but if Canadians made it. YUP, it's that bad. I would also recommend liquor if you take on the challenge of watching this series.
tl;dr
0/10 not nearly progressive enough. I mean come on, it's 2016. Trudeau would not approve. The cast isn't 50/50 male/female.

This show, much like the other incarnations of degrassi, is so freaking funny. The acting, script, and overall plot lines are just stupidly hilarious. If you're bored and looking for a good laugh and a show you don't have to completely pay attention to this is perfect. But I also highly recommend it, funnier than a lot of shows without even trying.
I'm starting to think this show must be a work of genius because there is no other reason that I should've watched every episode in 2 days. If you come across it stop immediately and watch the first episode; you will be hooked immediately though you will feel bad for doing so at first. The shame goes away and you realize why have I not been watching this my whole life?
So everybody give it a try, it's so bad it's good ( I promise )

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.

I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone since it is the stalest thing I have ever had to endure. I have (not out of free will), sat through 2 seasons of this garbage. I remember nothing, and I feel like I have wasted my life.
The actors are horrible. It is incredible how little emotion you can get away with showing when working as an actor and still get paid. The dialogue is stale, and with the horrible acting on top, it feels like listening to robots trying to simulate teenagers, without ever having met one.
They have a gigantic cast, but somehow they have managed to make none of the characters likable. In an attempt to make the characters more relatable and "realistic", they make every, single person act like morons, all the time. Never in my life have I met any person resembles any of the of characters.
So now you have these characters who are not only unlikable, and stale but also extremely unrelatable, which is impressive when the show's purpose is to relate and handle issues that are relevant for young people. So, incredibly after countless hours watching this garbage, and I can't name one characters name.
Lastly, when you then put these horrible actors, playing awful characters in the most boring and moronic situations, it makes the show outright unbearable to watch.
To sum it up, unless you like watching robot people in a strangely colourfull and polished environment, talking about practically nothing for 6 torturous seasons, then I wouldn't touch this show with a ten- foot pole.

After starting a rewatch of this, I was reminded of how much I love it, Degrassu: Next Class is probably the most overhated TV show of the last decade, and I absolutely adore it.
This show somehow manages to bring brilliant light to racism, sexism, mental health, cyber bullying, and many other uncomfortable topics to the show while also balancing it with amazing comedy and fantastic acting performances from almost everyone.
Every character has a perfect arc and even the minor characters and antagonists get their sympathetic moments and time to shine in the spotlight, this show went from great to brilliant during season 3 and I was absolutely in tears when it ended.
I'm gonna give Degrassi: Next Class an A.

This might be the best show ever made. So many layers, so many things to think about and analyze. Every time I watch this, I either get chills or find something new to get amazed at. All of the characters are so fleshed out and seem real. When I watch this show, I FEEL like I am a Degrassi student. The show has it all - action, thrills, suspense, drama, and little bit of everything in between. I recommend this show to anyone who has a brain. I'm gonna be honest, if someone says they don't like this show, they're either lying or they have not watched it. For these reasons, I think this show is the best of all time.

I really like most of this show. It leans on the social issues way too hard in many episodes, especially the Frankie being racist storyline. I also disliked so many of the characters. It is pretty clear they all have a liberal slant. Lots of them had really weak stories and were unlikable. The mental health stuff was great. It reminded me of high school just with too much emphasis on social justice.
Even the new star wars movies aren't as big of a dumpster fire as this woke trash.
Terrible writing, lame characters and cringey dialogue makes this show painful to watch, more so than any other crappy teen drama
If I didn't know any better i'd say this is what the CIA uses to torture prisoners with
