side note:: love seeing black boys playing instruments and enjoying life and not being drug dealers *chefs kiss*
For real the black representation on this show (atleast for the boys) was pretty good however those two deserved so much better
Yess, I was worried it would take that stereotypical route because of it being based in New York but their bond is so wholesome and actually representative.
@@kennyb1588 I loved the representation but I also think what happened to Owen is very realistic, especially with also having two white boys with RAPE ALLEGATIONS just walking down the hallways like nobody’s business. Their race played a part in their stories but it wasn’t stereotyped at all.
Yes I loved that so much!!! Like it was heartwarming fr
Your pfp is me when I attempt to do euphoria makeup.
I like that the grand army cast looks like actual teenagers even though the actors are adults. It’s very different than other modern teen shows in that aspect.
And they dressed them like normal teenagers. Natural makeup, simple clothes, fast fashion trends. Everything the characters wear is similar to what schoolkids dress like today.
And they didnt make them corny! Like the classic jock and the popular cheerleader. But they showed band kids and athletes just being regular people.
I think since most of them fall between 18-22 age range so they still have the "youthful" look
@@youngmoney2217 THISSSS>>> Fr though, every school I went to or just visited always had a dance team rather than cheerleaders. They serve the same purpose, but your more likely to see a school in NY have a dance team than a cheerleading team. And if their were cheerleaders, they weren't "popular" on the social hierarchy moreso just known as the-- cheerleading team lmao. And I heavily agree, the idea of cheerleaders in teen shows is becoming more and more antiquated especially because these shows try to paint cheerleaders as a monolithic part of the high school experience or assume that anyone who is on the cheerleading team has a higher standing in the HS popularity hierarchy, when that isn't the case for all schools (and when it is the case, it's only for small town high schools/upper class suburban high schools/or schools where poc students aren't the majority)
i loved that the characters were good looking in a believable way. they didn't have victoria secret models walking around trying to convince us that 16 year olds look like that. the characters were pretty in the way that actual teens are, with still some awkward-ish features because they're going through puberty.
Tim is a typical "nice" guy who's just as bad as the rest of them
oof preach!!!
👏🏼
"PICK ME boy" at its finest.
this is exactly what I said when I finished lmao
Yeah
It took me like 5 episodes to realize grace and Anna werent the same person
Me too they looked exactly the same to me
I've watched twice but still cant tell the difference between them in scenes shit dont make no sense
Wait they’re not no wonder I was confused
i just realized that from this video💀
LMAOOO right
The way Joey’s friends turned on her to defend rapists made my stomach turn but it’s too realistic :(
rigghhttt
IKR this thing had me screaming at my laptop Anna- Like bruh I was so fucking mad at anna. And when joey met them all later, it made me even angrier that they just couldnt ADMIT that they hurt her. And the other guy (anna's brother) was so fucking butthurt at the time that he finally realized that he fucked up. I like- ried.
@@dystanysam9896 HUH-
@@dystanysam9896 what do you mean??
Agree! People will say that they'll defend survivors of ⚠️trigger warning⚠️ sexual assault and/or r*pe and support the me too movement until until it's someone they know then they'll do a double take and blame the victim or accuse them of lying...like make it make sense🤨
Joey was the epitome of white feminism but she didn't deserve what happened to her
She didn't deserve anything that happened to her. But I know she'd be the one quoting susan b. anthony and explaining how she paved the way for "all women".
i think the white feminism was really well written and not overdone!! i don’t like how often times the “hot” girl is sexually assaulted in shows and movies to show us that “she’s a person too” it’s icky.
Yessss I was telling people that in the comments of an edit and everyone was like “omg uwu she’s so nice and a feminist we stan 😓”....like you can empathize for that horrible event but she’s not so great besides that
@@hiinsanity This is how I feel too like I feel bad for her and I believe she deserves justice but other than that her character was definitely not the best and in all honesty I didn't really like her all that much.
@@chantalgibson8304 i actually like how they set up a conversation about victim blaming by writing joey as more sexually expressive, and handled it really well
my favorite part of the show is when Dominique
yesss I LOVED the part where she
i agree
Yesss and when she
omg but what about when she
yeah whenever she just
I “love” how casual the racism was toward Sid, too realistic.
I still loved his read to Luke and George towards the end of the season
Right! Calling him Punjab and shit. Absolutely rude and unnecessary
@@_alanawalker That scene had me in tears. 😂
@@camillefaith2005 GIIIRL, I was literally hollering lmfao 👏🏾👏🏾
@@_alanawalker he was like “remind me not to ever ride in a cab with you two” he snatched hair
The way Anna was with Joey after the assault, saw her crying and wiping blood from her privates and still didn't believe her is beyond me. Like she literally saw Joey pulling her hair out, behaving traumatized, having panic attacks after that and she still didn't believe her?
Because she honestly believed that she couldn’t (ana herself) be a victim of misogyny &SA because of her proximity to their guy friends
Also she comes off as insecure like think of how she reacted to not being on George’s rapey IG page , she wants their validation so bad that it cost her friendship .It’s so fucking accurate irl
wowww i totally forgot that happened. horrible
EXACTLY like how did she not connect the dots??
@@valenk8092 literally
Noir V i 100% agree
they better not mess with Dom and John. We finally have a sweet black couple in teen/ya show. And not as side characters, but part of the main circle instead.
I'm all for Black love on TV 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤❤💚💚💚
The way I’m rooting for these two 🥰🥰
U know that relationship not gonna last they gotta stretch out the drama over multiple seasons lol
yes they’re my fav!!
Their relationship dynamic is too common on tv shows. Light skin girl/dark skin guy.
The thing I liked about the show is that they captured PERFECTLY how black kids are treated and punished compared to their white peers. The two black boys got a 60 day suspension, and I believe Owen got transferred to another "school" (basically a prison), for throwing a wallet full of money down a staircase, which they later PAYED BACK while the two white boys who ⚠️trigger warning⚠️ r*ped a girl got to go back to school in a shorter time span than their black classmates!!!
Joey deserves justice after what those three boys put her through!!!
Also Grace can burn in hell! And Leila needs to do a double take on herself because...chile🙄
i agree 100% BUT this is NOT what happens in nyc. like i understand they exaggerate for entertainment purposes but it’s soo unrealistic (not the r*pe part, i’m glad they put that in sooo glad that awoken some eyes) there’s some parts that’s very realistic but then was exaggerated like the wallet issue :(
@@paigefranklyn6560 The wallet situation is something that would happen. I don't think it was exaggerated. I think it was a very realistic situation with very realistic (and unfair) consequences towards black students not only in new york, but in America.
Black kids are policed like this every where, not just in nyc and not just in schools... eye opening to folx who don’t live in black skin but as black girl not surprised.
They were also so many things.. A kid got outed by another one on school grounds (even the counselor got involved) same guy shared a nude of an underage girl and everyone knew who it was and nothing happened!!
I don’t know why people were surprised by the boys doing that to Joey, they were already racist and misogynistic in the first ep
I was disappointed not surprised...hoping it wouldn’t happen. And I knew it was going to be Joey bc of the foreshadowing
bruh the bomb pussy list was honestly enough for me
toxic masculinity is so 🤬🤬🤢🤮
Facts they were out here calling sid “New Deli” and they made that list🧍🏾♀️
I was surprised by geo since him and Joey were childhood friends 🥺🙆🏽♂️
Lelia needs a reality check and maybe a visit to a mental hospital. I hope she never commits self harm or hurts someone else. And her ignoring that sweet theatre guy was unnecessary. I bet she doesn’t even know his last name.
and her trying to find peace by "apologizing" to everyone 100% showed some sort of mental issue because that was sad to watch
she is the worst and most unlikeable character because she believes she must have control of her life and all the people in it. I know so many high schoolers like her
some people try to defend her and say “she’s just a freshmen, she’s trying to find herself.” like last time I checked most freshmen’s who are trying to find themselves don’t send bomb threats to their schools.
@squiddy yeaaaah seek help
@@alyssaguess y’all are all mental health advocates until someone is severely mentally ill 🤦🏾♀️
Joey’s performative activism needs to go
Period!!! Always doing stuff for attention
It does but I also loved the little details that showed she was one.
Period didn’t like her bc of that. But girly still didn’t deserve what happened to her
Definitely. I think it had a lot to do with the who she surrounded herself with. But very realistic for white women
All activism is performative
Tim is THE worse because he just SAT there and did NOTHING! Electric chair!
I DONT CARE HOW HIGH ONE IS HOW DO YOU WATCH YOUR BEST FRIENDS SA YOUR FRIEND AND YOU DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
@@tomiolasimbo5021 THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!he has no excuses!
@squiddy that don't excuse nun
squiddy YOU CAN GET THE CHAIR TOO BIH
@@tomiolasimbo5021 if you're realy high tbh you won't have the strength to do much. In reality that would be an excuse if you actually have gotten extremely high then you know what I'm talking about especially drinking added on to it bc he was drinking lean when he was at the movies with them as well but fuck his racist ass
I knew she was a fake friend when she brought up the abortion
honestly like why would even joke ab that....weirdos
Wait who are we talking about?
@@shmruda8564 Grace
Wait who had an abortion?
@@gabytenor1226 No one. In episode 1 after the condom incident Grace starts to worry about getting pregnant. In turn she ask Joey how it felt because she ASSUMED that Joey had one
grand army is like if degrassi and euphoria had a kid
Yup!!!!!
Yeeees i been saying this and it’s not ok
literally tweeted after watching the first episode 😭
euphoria aint birth nothing lmao
Euphoria is trash imo.
Also why was everyone saying they loved Joey’s guy friends until episode 3? It was very obvious what kind of people they were by the way they treated women and how they constantly said racist things. They gave bad vibes from the start.
Yup. Didn't like them from the beginning except for maybe tim
honestly them being racist, sexist and misogynistic was purposely overlooked by a lot of people because they are the “ hot” very attractive characters which does happen in real life
@@tomiolasimbo5021 agree but also people's standards for men are on the ground lmaooo luke looks like a bonehead who'd wear maga hats and have the american flag in his room, george looks a bit inflamed for some reason (or maybe its the overbite?) and he gives me phillip from shameless vibes, and tim is discount cole sprouse (and cole sprouse is average at best)
I knew they were shit when they kept calling Sid 'New Delhi ' and made that list in the first episode
@@yxw6528 crying at this comment
Joey Del Marco deserved better and Tim was just as guilty as the perpetrators
@@misstmiche fully agree; and I find it especially hypocritical that Tim was slut-shaming her (with his eyes) because she didn’t constantly validate him while his sister mentioned that he was a whole player.
@squiddy he was still complicit in a r*pe and allowed Joey to be bullied and ran out of the damn school for going to the police .... I'd say he is just as bad as the other two idiots, if not WORSE because he knew tf better but because she was upset with him and not giving him attention, he allowed her to go through all of that trauma completely alone .
Every time george was on screen I felt physically ill.
Me with leila and grace (and the rapists too ofc).
Right! Like idk why anyone was rooting for him he was a ass since the first moment he popped on screen with the racist jokes and the list
@@kennyb1588 agreed!!
same i wanted to kick him through the screen hnnng
@@kennyb1588 who was tooting for him ?
Dom the best character. I feel bad for Joey but I don’t like her. This show doesn’t really have likable characters. Also Tim deserves nothing I want him in jail too
Joey fs didn't deserve that. She was also a performative activist
Yeah. I love joey but she definitely can improve
@@danix4919 agreed!!
@@kellycyriaque5871Agreed! I felt bad for her, but her peformitive activism was really getting me irritated. Kind of reminds me of our own influencers today🙃
Omg Sid???? Sid is great
can we all agree that the acting on this show is TOP NOTCH? especially odessa (joey) i got CHILLS whenever she was on screen
Yess i love this show
Yes 100%, I can't wait to see where Odessa goes from here because she's so talented
She really made her character seem like a real person in highschool
Absolutely i was shocked actually
NO BUT LITERALLY
I absolutely loved the representation of Dom and her friend group. We don't get to see much of black girls and their friends (who are also black girls) just enjoying life together. I hope to see more.
Watch "Tiny Pretty things"! It just dropped. I am yet to watch it though
Check out my vid "blac girl gets bullied on tiktok "
yesss I was just thinking like finally a black friend group that doesn’t revolve around men and drama! they were all supportive of each other, especially when it came to Dom and her situation.
Yes, you pointed out a detail I hadn’t paid that much attention to at first. I loved how they showed her going to the beauty supply store, like those little bits of blackness are what I’m here for and it was just so subtle. That’s what more tv shows need. Black girls laying their edges or getting their hair braided but not focusing their whole plot line around being black but just showing how we live.
@@kilimanjaro5537 exactly! Because we are definitely not spending every minute stressing on how we are black and oppressed. They need to start showing us just LIVING while black. Hopefully that makes lol
The scene with Dom and Joey on the bench was possibly the best scene of the show.
i loved it. “i’m alive, so i’m doing good.” i really needed to hear that. to me, that’s the main theme of the show
I legit cried
i love that they actually make black/brown characters actually interesting and with good personalities instead of giving it to all the white ppl. joey could be considered the main character but in my view she isn’t the most likable and i’m so happy to see that white doesn’t equal perfect main character and black doesn’t equal stereotypical unlikeable character
girl ppl are obsessed with joey
@@najeaw.3105 I can see why people like her tho. Other than the performative activism she wasn’t bad at all. I hated her friends tho
@@najeaw.3105 i know it’s annoying. her activism was annoying and i’m sorry for what happened to her but her personality before that was j plain and annoying
Wasn't Dom the main character ? 💛
Don, Jayson, Joey, Sid and Leila are the main characters
whenever the show went back to dominique's pov i always felt at peace, she always had the least amount of drama and anxiety inducing scenes lmao
Man almost every other scene with Dom something anxiety ridden was happening to her the money being lost not being able to leave early to attend an interview not being able to make on time for the interview the arranged marriage lol and on on
Right only doms scenes were the most interesting 🤚
her scenes towards the end kinda bored me i’m ngl🥸
@@ramonaflowers2813 lmaooo her life is wildd
Dom had the most real and urgent drama, she just knew how to keep her composure and deal with it all
Dominique deserves the world!! Argue with your mother
Who’s gonna argue with facts?
but why? she's not a great person
@@TheICEgirl6100 she is an outstanding person
@@TheICEgirl6100 how is she not a great person?
@@flaurprod great probably isn't the right word. everyone is making her out to be this amazing perfect character but she isn't that "great". idk how to explain it better because i'm not that skilled in english
Every Black girl in that show was top notch!!! (Dom, her friends, and the girls she did hair for that helped her with the internship) Supportive, beautiful, vibezy, fun, intelligent, sweet, amazing, determined, EVERYTHING. In conclusion: we won.
It irritated me so much to see people literally say "Hopefully Tim redeems himself in season 2."
Excuse me?
How in the hell can this man possibly get redeemed?
Just because you saw him have a mental breakdown in the end?
Screw him. I don't care how much the writers may try to right his wrongs. He is unfixable in my books.
I bet you my life savings hes gonna be on his knees crawling for Joey’s forgiveness while she’s living her best life. There’s literally no way he could or should be redeemed. Hated Tim from the start.
Same
they’re gonna try to give him the justin foley treatment, i can feel it
It's cause shows like 13RW have normalized trash complacent men getting redemption arcs.
He did a line and suddenly people felt like he developed a moral compass?? he can choke& should’ve OD
Meera is my girl! She deserves all the flowers. But Ed, Edd and Eddy are going to HELL! I knew they were bad news as soon as I lay my eyes on them.

now wait a minute! don't taint my favorite kids' show like that, please. Call them the Three DUSTketeers or sumn-
@squiddy pressed.
@squiddy cry about it
NOOOO NOT ED EDD AND EDDY PLSSSS
I find it funny how Netflix always cast biracial or lightskin black girls. But as soon as the script needs a black girl in pain, they can suddenly find a mono-racial darkskin/brownskin black girl...... (For example: Dear White People or See You Yesterday).
Man say that!
So true!!! Netflix needs to do better in casting darkskin black girls into actual good roles!!!
I agree with this however, I don’t think Grand Army is an example of this phenomenon.
@@ataiatempleton3726 yeah. I know that Hollywood LOVES to cast black girls ( especially dark skin girls ) to be tortured but in Grand Army EVERYONE is being tortured in some way
@@ataiatempleton3726 In grand army, everyone is in pain. Even the black girls. So you’re semi-right. I was just trying to point out how much Netflix dislikes happy mono-racial darkskin/browskin black girls.
I feel like Dom is actually real imagery of a black girl. That there are more problems outside of our hair or racism. That we are living beings with lives and our stories can be real and powerful without it being stereotypical. She was very relatable and that's the one thing about this show that doesn't make me wanna pull my hair out
Yess I really favor her. And the fact the shes Haitian like me made it even better ❤️
When joey said something like “my woke boys” i was like... this is going down hill isn’t it☠️
The finale had me ugly crying so hard. Dom asking John Ellis to prom, Joey going back to dance class and doing a dance to "freedom", AND jason taking a stand for Owen? I was a fucking mess bro I NEED a season two.
I think like Laila is gonna turn into one of those anti-sjw, reactionary, internalized misogyny and racism alt-right influencers... mark my words lol
Fuck, God I hope not
oh god, please no.
hmmm, alt right rabbit hole storyline?
She fucking nuts, the way season 1 ended if the school doesn’t find out about the threat I’m worried she won’t stop doing stuff like that especially with the boys about to go to jail soon the shit she’ll do for George’s attention...
🤢🤢
Tbh I didn’t feel bad for Tim’s using drugs scene, I was like “Oh she passed away? Aww. Mmm. Alright”
Exactly, all he had to do was stand up for Joey and now he wants to pull the sad card.
Lmaoo literally I was like if he dont gtfoh, you're not a victim
yeah like he put himself in that situation and I get like peer pressure or whatever but like he didn’t do ANYTHING until it was too late...next caller
Same! He could of done something during or after the fact.
I think he's gonna commit suicide
I think we can all agree Dom's storyline is why we continued watching
YUP
True
Dom was my comfort character (and favorite character)
!
something that i thought was so ironic was when joey’s lil friend group was like “you don’t need to lecture me about misogyny” yet they did what they did. joey’s feminism wasnt intersectional and that’s why dom didn’t welcome her with open arms . you hang out with racists yet you want people to think you’re this morally right person.
Is nobody going to talk about how Leila is a freshman and George is probably like a senior
That's literally why I started hating him since the first episode!!! He's took advantage of her!!! A predator since the jump.
George is a Junior
@@keepingupwtae1127 oh i didnt know i just thought he was a senior
one of the MOST frustrating plot points was how everything going wrong with dom's wallet was joey's fault (not saying she deserved any of what happened to her after, i was devastated watching her deal with that don't get me wrong), like SHE'S the one who hit it out of the air so it fell which led to dom's money getting taken, SHE'S the one who got the attention of a teacher which led to owen's suspension. if she'd just left it alone and gotten ahold of her white savior complex for a second none of that would've happened
oh my god you're right
was she the one that took the wallet out her bag?
Nah the boys shouldn't taken the wallet out the bag in the first place
@@barbiewasacommunist8061 yh but she was trying to be a white saviour
@@Diamonddd that's true but the wallet probably would've fell anyway even if she was a white savior cause they took it out her bag
“REJECT JUGHEAD CHARACTER LOOKIN” IM ASCENDING IHFGJJNKJFFHH
Lelia's parents really said ✨I don't see color✨
but notice how the POCs (except for leila) minded their business
they were the normal ones
Frr💀💀💀
and notice how the white people (joey when she said they stole the wallet ) were always in their business
@shahanas shahab I disagree. From what I can remember, Dom told Joey to mind her own business and stay out of it because she knew what would happen if a white girl was the one to report the issue.
I can’t fw you defend Tim. That man is as SICK as his friends
I really hate how they never showed Owens perspective
No I actually enjoyed that because that's the point with zero tolerance policies. Schools don't recognize that their students make mistakes and how they discipline them will affect their future (esp nyc academic public schools). It's a 'wash my hands off of you, i'm done' approach to save their ass in the media and to avoid having to actually do their job WHICH IS TO TEACH KIDS HOW TO BE ADULTS!! The fact that Owen doesn't have much screen time in the show just highlights the reality that the system doesn't care nor do they follow up on the black kids that they fucked over (even if their record was as stellar as Owen's). It shows to me that his life is never really in his hands from the suspension and all state down to even having his own perspective without it being dependent on Jayson's plotline
I feel like Leila's storyline has potential to be alot more dangerous for her character than we realize. Her character is a bit worrisome and off. Like I think she'll get to a real boiling point but hopefully she heals....
I'm not really sure but her character had soo many red flags and obviously she's going through alot but I think it's just how unpredictable she is especially after her posting that fake terrorist message to the school...
Can we talk about how performative Joey is💀
I hated her in the beginning exactly for that. She never called out the real problematic behaviour from her friend group; did that free the nipple thing right after mocking Leila's outfit the day before and still laughed (after a quick call out) when George was bad mouthing her for not making him cun; she had to do a madness to get called to attention for going braless while they illustrated that black womens bodies get sexualised only for existing.
Also liked how they made the boys wear the free the nipple shirt and act supportive when joey showed them the nipple ring- only to then procede to do what they did and use the picture to make her look like she was willing.
And don't get me started on race. She only knelt after looking at Dom because of the comments about white feminism; she felt the need to constantly centralise herself as with the wallet situation; she doesn't understand privelage; and she's struggling with understanding how to be an ally, but instead of asking POC, she asks her racist friends that call themselves "apolitical". This is why I distrust white straight men that call themselves apolitical, more times this just means they hold reactionary thoughts they never really considered to be political.
@@bimbowithadegree420 you know what's crazy... all that "research" she was doing whenever she was listening to white privilege and this that n the third THEY WERE ALL WHITE WOMEN. NOT ONCE DID SHE PLAY/READ ANYTHING FROM A WOC🤦🏾♀️😒
@@mya0699 exactly!!! Joey really was the poster child for performativity, popular white girl feminism
i did not like joey as a character but some of yall are literally insane thinking her personality justifies anything that happened to her
period
It doesn’t justify but it does account for accountability. People need to stop thinking and telling women it’s okay to act the way Joey acts and think it okay. It makes it harder for men to respect you and to know boundaries when your like this
@@itsyaaveragegirl right say it again
@@itsyaaveragegirl i mean, no is no. but i get your point
@@itsyaaveragegirl imma have to disagree, no matter how sexual joey acts, she still deserves respect from men. there is no behavior that a victim can display that justifies or “accounts” for their assault
Grand army is more like degrasi then euphoria 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah euphoria deals more with mental health.
john ellis was the ONLY likable guy on the show (with maybe the exception of that theater kid). he wasn’t sexist, racist, etc. he always did his best to be understanding and he never judged dom for her home life. all my homies love john ellis.
edit: PLSSSS THE MUSIC YOU PLAYED WHEN YOU SHOWDD HIS CHARACTER LFMAOAMAHJKS
i was so fucking disappointed in tim. VERY disappointed. everybody in that cab (except joey) deserves jail time.
lastly, dom is one of the best characters in the show. she really held her own and took no bullshit. i was so relieved when she got her happy ending that was WELL DESERVED.
Sid is ii. Also that bi kid.
I love how they had Dom and her family have full on scenes in Haitian Creole. I feel like bilingualism from immigrants and 1st gens gets watered down so the American audience doesn’t have to rely on subtitles. But that also dilutes the authenticity. I lived in Flatbush, BK (heavy Haitian population) and I know they don’t speak English in their households so if they had portrayed Dom’s family as English speakers with the occasional creole word, it would have been so inauthentic. We need more of this authenticity on tv
I thought Joey and Dom were going to become friends at some point. Maybe another season and it would happen.
I thought so too, it seemed like they were setting it up when Dom saw Joey's bruises
Check out my vid "blac girl gets bullied on tiktok "
I honestly don't want them to be. Acquaintances? Maybe, but I dont want Joey's ass anywhere near my baby. She is my one saving grace for this show🤦🏾♀️Black girls only friend group, and I would like to keep it that way🥺
I like that Dom cares about ppl, and checked up on Joey, but no. It'd give me very much "teach me, black girl." I dont want dom to have to hold Joey's hand through anything
I related to what Joey went through. I was sexually assaulted by a friend I messed with in college and blackmailed by him. He literally threatened to hurt my family if I don’t give him money. The police and the detective asked if I’m sure it wasn’t just a “ sex thing “ we did and the police made a joke that “ boys will be boys “. The man who assaulted me got away with it because they threw out my case.
You are a beautiful woman. Take care of yourself. 💛
I am so sorry that happened to you ❤️
absolutely disgusting. I’m so sorry you went through that
Disgusting. You’re beautiful and I hope you know that
That’s completely disgusting. I’m so sorry that happend to you. Sending u love and light
Here’s how I feel about Joey: you can sympathize with a character and still not like them. She did not deserve what happened to her, but I still don’t like her

I love grand army + the fact that it’s wayyy more realistic than other teen shows.
Degrassi Junior high,High and Next generation Beats Grand army any day
@@marilyn1984 it really doesn't. 1) the comparison between the shows is dumb and not needed 2)Degrassi franchise is kinda unrealistic at times and they way they go about sepeaking on certain topics are half-assed or extremely dramatized (then again that's every teen tv show and Degrassi was a pioneer at doing topics like these that are now the norm so who was really gonna call them out on that lmao)
@@nightcrawler8864 degrassi is realistic what are you talking about😂😂😂😂😂90% of the situation happen in real life Grand army doesn’t come close at all 😂😂😂😂
@@nightcrawler8864 the only thing Grand army beats degrassi in is diversity
@@nightcrawler8864 and to be clear I’m not taking about the degrassi on Netflix that one isn’t realistic at all
NOT HER SAYING THAT TIM LOOKS LIKE JUGHEAD BYEEEE
He looks like Clay (13 reasons why)
He really does.
I know y'all are saying Leila is a pick me girl but... I know I'm not the only one who thought Joey was being a lowkey pick me too since she was so comfortable with her friends being racist/misogynistic.
Both are tbh
Pick me choose me luv me but yeah I agree
definitely, her inner circle was full of misogynists and racists but she was quick to act just to get validation and be seen as a good person by the other students
Definitely, Joey is worse than Leila. She's the epitome of gen z white girls tbh
@@cheshiregerena6855 are you serious???
Tim is just as bad as Luke and Geroge, Grace and Anna are horrible people, Leila is so annoying like why is she giving me headaches. Dom is queen, Bless Rachel, Joey deserves better. Sid for a boy who got into Harvard HAND SANITIZER.
bruh thank you for bringing up the hand sanitizer. it peeved me so much!!!
Fr😭😭😭
The actress that plays Dom should win an Emmy. Her scenes had me weeping. Especially when she interviewed for her internship. It is powerful. Give her an Emmy.
THE MANIFESTO! the fact that Leila wrote all that, with all the slurs and racist shit...it DID NOT sit with me correctly
When people say they loved Joeys friend groups before the incident or “LOVED” George, Luke and Tim beforehand.... so weirddd. They were trash from the beginning and you still like them?
the 60 day suspensions is VERY accurate for nyc public schools. Like you don't understand how disciplinarian NYC public schools are. The discipline was very on point. The teachers actions? Very very very accurate unfortunately. ESPECIALLY for a specialized high school modeled off of the NYC specialized schools like Stuyvesant. (I went to Essex Street Academy in the LES. (Lower east side for yall who don't know))
Fr, I literally had a teacher just like the one that was being an ass to Joey
I personally didn’t go to such a strict school but I’ve heard about them and I thought that was so real. I loved how they represent NYC
Yup, had that teacher, had that disciplinary action, had them bad ass kids who are probably from Queens, and don't get me started on specialized High School environment, there's a huge difference between the neighboring schools of The Bronx High School of Science and DeWitt Clinton High School.
OH MY FOD THATS MY HIGH SCHIIL
i have a deep hatred for leila.
i hate that cow
Girl same. As Tee Noir put it, she has a bad case of "main character syndrome".
She’s a good actor cause when I see her ... I hate her lmao .
Same. The pick me of all pick me’s.
she is such a hypocrite like she rly thought she did smt when she said this is america speak English
Gorge and Luke look sexist, I just can’t explain it they just does.
luke got that nazi bonehead haircut
@@yxw6528 👁👁
I knew they were gonna sexually assault someone by the end of the show as soon as they popped in screen. And the lead up to the cab ride, my heart dropped into my a**. I was like DONT TRUST THEM at Joey's face the whole time. Trash human beings
@@pinkpowercoin3341 can we also talk about the cab driver who clearly heard her crying ?
DISGUSTING, ELECTRIC CHAIR.
especially when he and laila had oral sex ( or at least george was the only one on the receiving end) and he later on told joey how bad she is at giving fellatio and when joey asked “well what did u do to her....? “ he looked at her as if she was crazy and just laughed at her....thats when i 10000% knew he was.
Grace’s bob is the “Young Karen”
I thought it was interesting that the writers made Joey's friends seem like they were feminists or at least not heavily misogynistic with the whole free the nipple thing. It kinda showed ppl it's not always the incels who are rapists if that makes sense.
It be the popular kids more often than not
Can't wait to see those two menaces go to jail after what they did to Joey in Season 2. THEY WILL BE DEALT WITH
the 3 menaces tim needs to be locked up too
Lol, white boys don't go to jail for this ish😐
Leila's psychotic ass needs to be locked up too
@@CC-rm9uq idk, more therapy than jail for her tbh
@@CC-rm9uq ur going to compare an annoying girl to rapists in this situation? rlly...?
Leila really scares me
The punition didn't fit the crime. That was way over the top, Owen and Jason did everything they could to bring back the money to Dominique.
It was Joey fault
@@marilyn1984Yeah
@@marilyn1984 it was their fault for stealing. they only started getting the money back because they didn’t want to get in trouble.
@@oziasgavriel that’s actually not true when dom got the wallet and she said the money was gone Owen said we will pay you back then Joey irritating ass butted in
@@oziasgavriel and dom even kept telling the teacher that it was a mistake and told Joey she isn’t even in it and that it’s nun her business Joey doesn’t know how to mind her business with her fake ass feminist and activist ass
Most of the black writers were forced off the show so I’m scared that the quality for S2 will be ass
noo omg 😭 was this confirmed? & do we know the reason they were kicked off?
@@shaina8947 Yes it was one of writers tweeted that the show writer was just being a racist mess so of course they didn’t feel comfortable
Why are they being forced off
@@maroonhorizon1693 it’s in the replies

Really wanna hear Amanda talk about electoral politics, socialism and activism for 2 hours THE POWER
I need to see Amanda drag politicians 😭
Would love to see this!!!🥰. I wouldn't mind seeing Amanda drag these politicians to filth!!!
Me too, but talking about politics is a very complex topic. You really have to know what you're talking about.
based amanda
We are getting FED
NOURISHED
i think “queen’s gambit” is a PERFECTLY paced show you’d enjoy :)
Imagine she does a video about it I would be LIVING
is it really that good??
I'm on episode 2 lol I just started
@@tsuyuasui7297 it’s pretty darn good. everything in it made sense and there wasnt really any “fluff”

Unrelated, but you're really pretty!!
@@gabytenor1226 omg thank you !!
😄😄😄😄😄
Leila’s internalised racism and sexism made me sad. The way she reacted to joeys SA. Really horrendous behaviour.
Unlike some other US teen/ya shows (including Euphoria), *I appreciate how much Education and building a career were important to the students at Grand Army.* Yes, there's love plots, fights, parties, sex and *very-well handed themes like r*pe, Sid's PTSD after the bombing on the 1st episode.* In that same episode, Dom and her friends were sitting at the stairs, looking up big houses on their phones, daydreaming about buying them one day. (I used to daydream like that with my friends too) Just like Sid getting into Harvard was a big deal and Meera was in charge of the drama club, she even held an art exhibition for indian girls/women to showcase their work at her parents restaurants. 😅
*Teenagers and young adults are educated and have ambitions too. But for the most part, Hollywood is more interested in youth and how to exploit on tv under the "it's realistic" umbrella.* 😒
Exactly! I love Euphoria, but I feel like I can relate to this show more just because of the academic aspect and aspirations of the students
dom saved the show
THEE Best character
i liked dom’s friend group. it’s a friend group with poc that aren’t portrayed as toxic or yk how literally ever poc friend group is portrayed.
"Men deserve nothing" Our queen Amanda has spoken nothing, but facts😎
Them canceling the show was so sad. This show could have done so much more if given the opportunity. Brilliant show
wouldve been a cultural reset frl
Totally, I would’ve loved a season 2 or a hint at how their story ends. Unfortunately we get 100 kissing booth movies🫠…
RIGHT! I was so upset
When I tell you, as soon as owen and jayson came on the screen laughing after their audition, I knew the writers were not going to let this black boy joy thrive.
Dominique is also my favorite character (if she is not yours, find help lmaooo). As a first gen Nigerian american teen, I liked the representation how some children deal with domestic adultification. (hopefully, that is the right word) How some of us are forced to grow up quickly at young ages by our parents and/or financial struggles. Although my experience was definitely not as stressful and intense as hers, I definitely could relate to some of her struggles. I'm super glad everything worked out for her!
i am an active member of the joey hate group. did she deserve better? yes. do i still wanna fight her? also yes.
@@misstmiche 👏🏾👏🏾 Nailed it!!
100% agree
@@misstmiche Yea but the male gaze was EXACTLY what she was battling. The notion was that if men don’t have to cover up their nipples beneath their shirt in school, then why can’t women (although it would’ve been great had she included black and more POC girls in the movement, she was pretty tone deaf with it)?
ME
I hated from episode one 🤮
i was literally in tears when dom had that speech about why psychology was important to her
It’s the racism behind the making of this show for me. For context, the show runner, Cappiello, called Netflix hr on the black writer in the room for ‘Getting a haircut’, yes you read that right. Can’t love any show that much after such blatant racism. No thanks, I wish all the black actors and the one black writer best of luck. Not a fan of white writers writing a young Haitian girl’s struggle.
My thing with with Joey is that she reeks of performative activism & white feminism. An example of this is how when Dom took the knee she felt flustered & took it straight after. Even the fact that she was doing all of this activism whilst being best friends with the WORST kind of people made her a huge hypocrite. Although I feel for her in regards to what happened, I really can’t ignore this💀💀💀💀
@@ninainezaca159 well said!👏🏾
Your analysis of Leila>>> also she did the bomb thread to try and cancel the play too because she could no longer act in it
💀💀💀
i honestly don’t really like joey, yes she shouldn’t have gotten raped and i do feel bad. i just don’t like her very much because of she is the definition of a performative activist, there’s scenes where i just cringe if her trying to be woke.
John Ellis is so wholesome🥺
when i saw the show had an lgbt tag, I assumed it would be Joey and Anna, but after watching further I’m very glad I was wrong 💀
and girl, omar is the sweet boy that likes leila for some reason, not the asshole 😂😭
And like Luke and George I KNEW from the MINUTE they were on screen. That they were not good people
It was so refreshing to see a black man on tv being sweet and romantic like John🤧🥳
The fact that Dom seemed like an Oldest Sister of an immigrant family, without actually being an older sister. Also, her interview scene, beautiful. I was literally in tears when she got her internship.
Also, I love her friendship group, the way they interact like true friends, like their scene in the hair shop where Dom has her breakdown, how they’re there with her, crouching down on the side of the street to support her friend
I also feel like something that gets overshadowed is when we realize Leia sent out that email to the school and we realize she was the one making those derogatory statements about people and how she was gonna do something to the school...
Finally a show I watched BEFORE Amanda reviewed it
same omg
Lmaooo the way I started watching the show cus Tee noir reviewed it😂
Dom captivated in every scene she was in
"YOU WILL NEVER BE EDNA MODE! YOU DON'T HAVE THE DRIP. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE BANGS!"
i need an amanda video on desperate housewives
yesss!
PLEAASEEE
I feel like the reason Ana found it so easy to turn on Joey was bc she had a crush on her and it went over my head the first time I watched it. And I feel like this bc of how she was acting when Joey told her she wanted to mess with Tim
I’mma have to rewatch it because that’s starting to make sense and also you’re pretty 😊.
