Reality
I'm a 90's kid that could relate very well with the series. It really showed how it was back then but this is the down side of it. It can't be relatable to kids of the current generation (as advances with technologies have progressed, which means a teen's attention can be occupied by cellphones instead of nothing like back then). Still, this is gold when it comes to showing how vices could greatly affect your life in a negative way.
The series covered sensitive topics that still exists in this generation and will continue to exist in the future. The only things that weren't shown were issues of teenage preganancy and STDs (I think), so basically it's everything negative.
Home. It should be the very place that one could find their own place and comfort. But what if you can't find your place within nor can you find that comfort? This series placed a heavy emphasis on the importance on healthy family relationships, which was the sole reason why each of the main characters went astray. From handling that one problem in the wrong way, everything went downhill.
What's great about this series is that it didn't sugarcoat things. Yes, depression plus drugs can lead to suicide. Yes, you can overdose. Yes, it isn't easy to get out of the addiction once you're deep into it. Yes, parents can be wrong at times. Yes, you can get imprisoned or worst, killed when you get involved in dealing. Yes, being an lgbt+ isn't easily accepted even by your own family. Yes, bullying exists. Yes, it starts with being curious of the small things and yes, it escalates to big things.
I can't find any complaint on the actors with their portrayal of their characters. They delivered and they delivered really well. The soundtrack fits the 90's thing but it wasn't my 90's cup of tea.
I highly recommend but again, this series isn't the doki-doki fluff nor doki-doki smut. It's the serious stuff and underaged viewers should be accompanied by adults. Personally, I wouldn't prohibit because this is a great learning material. Even though I didn't shed a tear, this is actually a heatbreaking series that isn't for the light hearted ones.
