Best show on netflix right now! Beautiful story that has such depth and representation in so many areas! The focus on real teen issues both discussed and displayed on the camera by real young people and not idealised versions portrayed by actors well into adulthood, is done so well. Issues like sexual identity and fluidity, weight, acne, anxiety, body dismorphia, mental health, drug and alcohol usage, broken families and parental drug addiction. There are too many to count and they are all handled beautifully by the writers and the actors. I also have to mention the fantastic use of an intimacy coordinator on this series, making the actors feel comfortable in themselves and the scenes they are performing resulting in some of the most authentic and beautiful intimate moments I have seen on screen. I have nothing but praise for this show and all I can hope is that it gets picked up for a second season!
