A high school drama that had no right to go as hard as it did

I could honestly write an entire paper on this show, just wow. The whole premise is based on a character experiencing a time loop but to be honest I forgot about it most of the time because all the stories and characters just swept me off my feet. Taking a step back, music, lighting, camera work was all spectacular the type of thing you'd expect a very high quality drama to have. The stories and characters had so much depth to them they felt very real. And there were situations that felt so life-like, not at all the corny drama characters sometimes find themselves in (which lets face it is also fun, but it was so refreshing to have things like relationships dealt with in a healthy and realistic way). Again there is some romance in this drama, but it is NOT the focus and for once I didn't mind, because the time and energy was truly well spent developing the relationships between multiple characters so they felt deep and not two dimensional. My one small spoiler for the show is the ending (so DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW)- the ending is a little bittersweet. I personally really liked it and it was still a happy ending but wasn't just everything wrapped up in a neat tidy bow with a big smiley face. It's a little sad. So be warned. If you liked the end of Extraordinary You you will probably like this ending - a happy end, but if you think about it/the implications too much, it is a bit sad.
