10 Teen TV Dramas You Should Be Watching Right Now
Here are just a few great ways remind ourselves of our own angsty and incredibly awkward pasts.
Teen drama tv shows have more twists and turns than a roller coaster and somehow more death and violence than an episode of Game of Thrones, which is part of the reason why there are so many well-written tv-shows about the worst time of our lives.
While many can't relate to having secret superpowers or even an amazing thousand dollar wardrobe they wore every day of high school the characters and some of the themes in teen tv drama shows still resonate with the old and the young alike.
From long-distance crushes to devastating texts and phone calls teen dramas are able to accentuate the feelings and emotions of growing adults to a wide audience around the world. This audience can even find some sort of comfort in seeing someone on the little screen go through the same exact thing, or at least something similar, and overcome it through perseverance and help from friends.
Plus everyone loves drama in one way or another and tv drama is much safer than the real world. So here are just a few of the best teen drama tv shows past, and present, that you should be watching or even rewatching right now.
10. Sex Education
Sex Ed classes are always awkward to be in. They always have the wrong kind of teacher teaching sex to kids who are either never ready for it or have already had far too much sex. And you are always distracted from the gross biology charts because you're checking out the attractive classmate across the room.
This is something the hit British Netflix show Sex Education understands perfectly. The show stars Asa Butterfield as a sexually disinterested teenager named Otis alongside his sex therapist mother Jean who is played by the fantastic Gillian Anderson of X-Files and The Crown fame.
The show takes sex to a whole new level with its over-the-top sex scenes and nudity along with truckloads of on-the-spot comedy comes together to create something not often seen in the teen drama genre which is well worth a binge-watch just for the amazingly well-written characters alone.
