    90s teen drama

    This series was very gritty and hard hitting from the start dealt with real life issues from the view of mostly poor or working class students in a surbuban high school many of the issues would not suit the pc world we live in today definitely worth a watch

    I'm past the teenage years but, man, I love this show.

    My opinion: Callan Mulvey is the hottest guy I've EVER SEEN. Damn beautiful. I read an article on him once where he said he thinks girls like his character because they like someone who's wild and daring. I say girls like his character because he can be a self-centered smartass, tough, a rebel, but he does care for his friends and can be quite a sweetheart. Boy, we just melt for that. We all want to tame the beast. Plus he's damn funny. Oh, and he's the reason why I got my eyebrow ring :)

    But even if it wasn't for this beautiful creature I'd still watch the show for all the other characters and the issues they deal with. It's eye-opening and open-minded. 20 minutes a day well spent and, well..it brings out the adolescent in me :)

    The best in the genre

    By far the favorite series from my childhood. "Beverly Hills" and others from the genre can not come close. It has been aired for 7 seasons, has 210 episodes and was a springboard for a bunch of Australian stars. Maybe it's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it is best in the genre without any competition. Mostly because it's realistic. I mean, how many people in the world can relate to rich snobs from Beverly Hills... The events in this series are something most similar to growing up in Serbia that we had the opportunity to watch on television. And we all know someone who is the image of every character in the series. It's amazingly addictive and 210 episodes of 45 minutes flies by in a jiffy.

    9/10

    Wonderful show!

    I would advise everybody to watch it! It is realistic, good acted, and has great storylines. Almost every episode is wonderful. Hope it never ends!

    rude kids, talented actors

    This TV-series is very good, I do not think there is another realistic series about High School with so many good actors and so good storyline. It treats many important aspects of growing up, difficult times and good times. I think that entertainment today is speculative and cold. This series is not. Its about values, but not so much as becoming a pain in the butt.
