All in all, it was a pretty good show. It was definitely dramatic and dark, but I thought the plot was engaging and the characters were well-developed. There are a few sex scenes, as well as violence and gore, so be prepared. Although there were a lot of clichés, I really appreciated the way the show approached topics like homophobia, HIV, drugs, and other issues facing many teens today. I couldn’t stop watching it and I can’t wait for the next season! (Warning: cliffhanger!)
