I'm a more mature viewer, but was so captivated by this story that I binge watched all 4 series, back-to-back.
The cast were so good and the overlapping stories of the individual characters' growth, development and experiences through every episode was very natural. Friendship, crushes, love, heartbreak, struggles, commitment and laughs, are all here.
Some great advice and lessons are delivered through each episode, from the importance of communicating and honesty, to overcoming feelings of inferiority, all by watching others go through it. I could empathise with so much.
I love that the characters are far more open in terms of their mixed gender friendships and the story is far more mature than many dramas aimed at slightly older audiences, which I've watched.
Sex isn't shameful, but at the same time not to be taken lightly, when young and contemplating a first time. This series handles it all so naturally and without being judgemental.
I'm hooked and hoping for another instalment!
