Just watched the first couple episodes. I like it so far. The first episode is rediculous. Anyone seen it?

wow i'm amazed no one has seen/heard of this show. Roommates and I just finished the first season, started on the second. This show pushes quite a few limits that i haven't seen an American show do. Not to mention it's on a public access channel with drug use, nudity, and a bunch of crazy shit.

sounds like even more drama than an episode of Degrassi

Better than Degrassi. It's not really "drama drama" like you'd think. It's just a really interesting show and all the actors are really talented. The character developtment is great, and each episodes revolves around a particular character. It's produced really well, and the cinematagraphy is great.

What amazes me is how they intertwine the actors/actresses talents into the show. Like this one character Jal plays the clarinet really well, and they focused an episode around an audition she had. Another guy dances really well, and everyone sings. Just seems like the writing is very open-ended and the characters get a lot of input in what happens in the show.

Season 2 episode 4 was awesome. They went camping at the beach and parked the volvo and forgot about it, and high-tide washed it away. Second car they've drowned in the series.

Actually every episode is pretty good.

Getting all my friends into it. They've been using sigur ros alot which is cool. Brings back highschool memories.

Show like touches upon every fucked up part of a teenagers life and how friends keep everyone together. Have yet to see anything like it on american television. Just amazes me how much sex, drugs and shit they put on public access tv over there and it's very addictive to watch.

i never finished the 5th or 6th season because i just couldn't get into that group of friends, so i only recently realized there was a 7th season that brought back effy, naomi, cassie, and cook. netflix has all the seasons, the 7th season isn't as good as the originals but it's worth watching.
