The fourty-third TV show: #493 Heartbreak High
Heartbreak High is a teen drama, a soap opera set in a high school addressing the concerns of teenage kids while also showing some of the teachers' lives - although the latter seem to matter less. There were some good parts in this - an early dispute about free speech and power of teachers versus limitations of the students made for a decent early episode.
And in the early episodes of the series, which we focused on, there were some touching moments. There were also a lot of shallow elements that don't seem to matter, or that don't connect otherwise, and it seems like some of it starts going in circles. Furthermore, I've seen more of these when I was younger, and there are some elements I've seen before. But yeah, being more grown up, so many of these problems just seem so small.
It doesn't help that this has, well, soap opera acting. It's fine for most, and a lot of people grow into their roles, but there's time when we see cartoon villains and bad segments. It's unfortunate it doesn't quite work... but then, soaps never did it for me.
