should prob lower the score if i factor in the later seasons more, but once drake left the show was already shifting to where it ends up in season 10. and i'm not factoring in that rest of the show til i watch it prob at x2 speed. the school shooting is actually such bs lol. love how so many stars came through this show, forgetting who emma's dad was lmao, they actually do a pretty good job with some romance and serious issues. often a lil too childish/psa like usual. stabbing was bs too lol

Dealt with a lot of controversial topics in a solid manner, but eventually they just start repeating the same storylines over and over with progressively less interesting characters.

Nowhere near the charm of the original.
