As far as cheesy teen dramas go this one isn't so bad. It's nowhere near as good as the original DeGrassi series as far as realism and drama and acting and writing etc go but it's better than say The OC or 90210 (at least the new one). It's campy and the acting is bad but those other show are way more over the top and don't care at all about performance so much as the hair of the 40 year old actors playing high school kids. Worth checking out if you're into this stuff just don't expect too much and you'll be fine.
