Synopses & Favourite Scenes
Ugly Betty (rewatching with mum)
3x02 Filing for the Enemy
Wilhelmina schemes to take Betty away from Daniel and make Betty her assistant, causing a rift between Marc and Betty. Daniel faces a custody battle for Daniel Jr. while Hilda and Tony's illicit romance heats up.
Amanda singing "Hush little homo, dont you cry" to Mark as he nestles into her chest, was a rare moment of sincerity and warmth from these two lol
Class of '07
1x07 Party Like It's 1999
In the aftermath of Sandy's vengeful return, Zoe must stop Amelia from leading the class into a hedonistic end-of-life party.
Feral!Sandy is a lot more likeable since her return to land. And Megan trying to push Sandy back through the door using her head was bafflingly effective lmaooo (A crew member must've been pulling from the other side, right?)
Manhãs de Setembro (September Mornings)
2x04 Head up high or dead, never on my knees
Leide opens a lunch box business. Gersinho is about to celebrate his birthday. Cassandra's bike breaks down, making her delivery job almost impossible.
I can sympathize with Cassi having not ever wanted a kid in her life, parenting isn't for everyone. But she has one now, and needs to stop taking her frustration out on him and find a healthier outlet for it.
Sex Education
4x04 Episode 4
Tragedy brings a familiar face back to Moordale. Jean's saving grace is Otis' worst nightmare. Ruby does recon. Aisha asks out Cal - but there's a twist.
Aimee's facial expressions being my favourite part of the episode. Her smugness at beating Otis at Skanky Queen (was it called that icr?). Her continued forgetfullness over the lens cap. Her trying to hide her smile as she talks about Isaac. Her teary-eyes as she hears about Maeve's mum. Her nibbling the last bit of her nightly pepperami.

Sex Education 3x01 and 3x02 - Starting the new season 🤩
3x01
Weird to hear a different version of “I think we’re alone now” on a show that isn’t Umbrella Academy.
Also weird to see a wonderful little goat on a show that isn’t Shadow and Bone.
So Mrs. Haddon is a bit of a racist, huh?
Oh, but of course Mr. Groff’s brother is Lucius Malfoy!
That ruin of an empty toilet building is never empty at all, is it?
I love Adam’s and Ola’s friendship.
I don’t hate Otis���s and Ruby’s relationship.
About the toilet building … never mind.
3x02
I do hate Otis’s and Ruby’s relationship.
So Mrs. Haddon putting up new rules around Moordale is basically like Umbridge putting up new rules in Hogwarts. Lovely.
Did … did Ruby actually keep her dog in her locker overnight? Can someone take it away from her forever, please?
Viv sucking up to Mrs. Haddon is unfortunate, but then again, I’m not too concerned - Viv is too smart to fall for anyone’s bullshit for long.
Aimee must be protected at all costs.
And I’m rooting for Eric and Adam - they could be great if they communicated to understand each other properly.
I don’t want Maeve to be sad about Otis, because frankly, she deserves better than him.
I did NOT expect Isaac to come clean about the deleted message. That’s a very nice surprise. Apart from the fact that Maeve is rightfully hurt now.
Adam and Eric: Communication wins!
Do I hate Otis’s and Ruby’s relationship?

what are all the teens shows youve seen and your thoguhts on them?
that’s an extremely long list that i cannot remember in its entirety, but i will try for you. i forgot some but i remember a lot that i’m sure most people forget or didn’t know existed.
awkward: entertaining at first but slowly got boring, by the halfway point of season 3 i was so over it that i stopped watching and never cared enough to find out what happened in the final 2 seasons.
faking it: i actually loved it even with the yikes premise. i think it deserved another season or two to really flesh out the characters and give them a proper send-off.
riverdale: we all know what i think about riverdale. i really don’t want a season 4 but i’m still gonna watch it.
pll: i surprisingly didn’t give up on it… i even liveblogged it for a season or two (you’re a trooper if you remember me doing 3 liveblogs a week and 2 on the same day back to back). i think it i didn’t deserve 7 seasons and that it was terribly written esp the last 2 season because it felt like they just pulled random ideas out of a hat and there was so many plot holes… whew. i’ve seen both spinoffs and ravenswood was… um… interesting. that’s all i’ll say about it. the perfectionists was absolutely a mistake… like why did freeform think giving marlene another show was a good idea. i’m over the all-knowing anonymous stalker/killer thing so it’s not my favorite thing.
famous in love: laughably bad but it had potential. also keith was great in to it. i will never get over how bella found out that it got canceled on twitter gjhghjgjh.
glee: the source of all my problems. i don’t know if it was always bad and i didn’t notice but god… some of the stuff ryan murphy made them do should’ve gotten him sent to prison.
scream queens: not sure what that was but i know for a fact that it didn’t need a season 2.
gossip girl: i lived for those messy bitches. i don’t think it needs a reboot at all. i didn’t like every plot but it is a show i like to revisit. i do think the ending was terrible and i’ll never stop thinking that. i did think for a new york setting it was all too white and way too straight even though it was supposed to be upper class or whatever it was still too white and straight. like dan lived in brooklyn for fucksake… i get that gentrification is a big issue there but how did he only know one black person? how in 6 seasons did they only encounter like 4 or 5 black people? and one asian person?
one tree hill: a show that i’ll always adore for many reasons. it put me through emotional peril but i really loved it. i know everyone loves brooke, and don’t get me wrong i do too, but i always liked peyton just a little more just because i related to her more. i saw a lot more of myself in her than i had any business doing. the superior scott is jamie and that’s that on that. overall great even though they underutilized skills and mouth.
the 100: yeah i only made it to the episode before l/xa was killed… i think i’ll revisit it because it was something me and my best friend watched weekly before he spent all his time in the hospital and unfortunately passed. i really stopped feeling it after like 3x02… it just became too much and i also just didn’t like the showrunner so that made me not want to watch more than the actual plot.
skam: i had to stop watching bc vilde pissed me off whenever she spoke hhfkjdhfjd… i’ve seen the american remake and her american counterpart pisses me off too. otherwise, i did enjoy it even though it was slow for me bc i’m used to shows with crackhead energy. i liked sana the most but i never finished her season bc i couldn’t get the google drive video to work.
skins: honestly a classic. i do revisit it from time to time because of all the teen shows i’ve seen it’s the most realistic and i like that about it. i’ve seen the american remake, and i liked one character because we have the same name hkjhfkjsh
misfits: a great show with a very fun concept but when the original cast except on of them it just wasn’t as good.
some girls: UNDERRATED AS HELL! i fucking love it… it was hilarious.
sex education: i love it. i adore maeve and jackson as a couple and seperately. i hate that the show is doing the uncool guy/cool girl thing as their potential engame because maeve x jackson is great and otis x ola deserves a chance. i also love amy.
end of the fucking world: the whitest white people shit to ever exist.
the get down: this show was soooooo fucking good and i’m not saying that because i love jaden smith. i genuinely thing everything about it except fat annie was great.
my mad fat diary: absolutely perfect. would not change a single thing about it except maybe add a black character… or 3.
teen wolf: fell off after the 3rd season. the darkest show i’ve ever seen… like i literally could not see a thing. wish that they let scott be single for at least half a season, he didn’t need a love interest all the time. overall has a special place in my heart but JEFF DAVIS CAN CHOKE.
recovery road: i don’t think it should’ve been canceled. it was good and deserved more opportunity to thrive. could’ve done without the phony jamaican though. she should’ve been written out…
the vampire diaries: i liked it for the first 3 seasons but after that i was watching it out of habit, even doing that i only made it to season 6. i just don’t think it made season without elena. i like bonnie deserved better. i watched the finale and the only moment i liked was the moment with all the bennet witches… that was dope.
chilling adventures of sabrina: SOOOO GOOD. i don’t know how ras managed to get me to like it but i genuinely love it. hkily (harvey kinkle i love you). i hope ambrose and prudence get to kill father blackwood next season… it’s what they deserve.
degrassi: i’ve seen the entire franchise and i revisit it a lot when i feel nostalgic. my favorites in the franchise are degrassi high and the next generation. i like the first 6 seasons and season 12 the most. i think next class tried a little too hard to be socially aware. it’s something that i associate most with my pre teen and teen years.
elite: an interesting mash of a lot of american teen shows i’ve seen but in spanish.
the oc: way too white. i thrived off of marrissa’s wild behavior but i didn’t care for anything else. i think the storyline with alex was out of place and rushed as hell.
secret life: world’s worst show. like seriously should not have existed.
legacies: i like it so much right now, but i think landon is as interesting as a piece of white bread.
grownish: the plot and characters leave little to be desired but the clothes… oh my god… the clothes. wow. that is worth watching the show for.
cloak and dagger: i would give my firstborn for another season. it’s so good.
runaways: can’t wait to see my babies this winter. i love everything about this show.
twisted: WHY WAS IT CANCELED? I LIKED IT… I LOVED LACEY AND DANNY.
dead of summer: i can’t remember anything that happened but eli goree was absolutely gorgeous in it.
the lying game: the plot confuses me to this day. i can’t remember if i liked it.
10 things i hate about you: idk why freeform did that… it was so bad hkjhsjfkhs
kyle xy: i remember liking it a lot but i don’t remember but else. the lead guy has the cutest little family. he and his husband have a cute little youtube channel.
90210: the reboot was just a bunch of unnecessary drama but i did enjoy some of it. the plot where they made dixon, the only black guy and the nicest guy in the group, a villain was ugly and unnecessary. i liked ivy, raj, and dixon the most. it did lack the after school special feel of the original though.
13 reasons why: shouldn’t exist. period. but ross was good in it.
on my block: i absolutely love it and hope the cast negotiates a pay raise so they get what they deserve.
scream: i liked it but i don’t think it had the same appeal as the movie it spawned from. i think the recent revival had a fun twist and some funny one-liners and i loved that both final girls were black and so was the final boy.
hard times of rj burger: as dumb as it sounds with terrible jokes.
finding carter: i thought it was a good show and would have survived had it been on a network like freeform. mtv just wasn’t the best place for it
boy meets world: a show that’s very close to my heart that i will continue to love forever. shawn and angela deserved better.
saved by the bell: my fav show to watch when i’m having a panic attack. it helps me calm down. also 90s mario and mark could GET IT ANY TIME, ANY DAY, ANYWHERE!
south of nowhere: i can’t remember much but i think i liked it.
gigantic: absolutely boring. that shit was boring as fuck.
open heart: boring.
smart guy: iconic.
sister, sister: LEGENDERIC.
one on one: hilarious and heartwarming.
