welcome to emma, i'm degrassi
19 October 2022
Now now NOW... i could cry typing this, knowing my friends and i just went on the 5 month journey that it took to binge the entirety of this show. Going through multiple generations of middle/ high school students at degrassi, this show hit on SO. MANY. Social issues like it was insane. Almost every single character was so complex and got a redemption arc if they weren't aready likeable to begin with. The bipolar representation was especially just so well done.

While it is true that the show did go downhill eventually, this never stopped being a total comfort show for me every night and was so easy to discuss with my friends. I also literally met my girlfriend because of degrassi and i just idk, this show is so dear to me and i will cherish it forever.

The first season's version and the peter stone version of the theme song was truly the best ones and they will be playing at my wedding. It was also insane to see how many actors got their start on this show, from nina dobrev to the girls who played darcy edwards and ali bhandari to drake. Stunning show and so much more than i thought it would be. On to next class!!
