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.
