    What made Degrassi so raw was that they used actual young kids. They didn’t hire adults and then just say they were 14.

Like you can hear the gunshot in the background in one of the scenes when they were in one of the classes. Such an eerie sound when i went back to rewatch that.

    I really love how Degrassi communicated the stories and the issues on level with the kids that watched it.
    They always had actors who were the actual age of the kids they portrayed, they gave them realistic motives and thoughts and dialogues, they didnt turn them into "dumb kids" but also didnt treat them like adults. There's something very real and honest about the way they told these stories that I haven't seen in any other show. I'm really sad the Netflix reboot got cancelled, it was a little more messy and clumsy and weirdly paced but I felt like it really had potential.

    I think this show seems more raw because that guy genuinely seemed like a normal guy, he seemed like a nice teacher (at first). I feel like other shows play it up, make the actors overact a bit, make them seem overly creepy at first and have more of a cartoon-y unreal villain vibe. It helps you dissociate when it's so exaggerated, but this guy seemed to be more on the realistic end, which is what made it worse. Also the fact that she was actually just such an innocent kid, and leading up to all of this, everyone was worried for innocent reasons and the like.

    Racism
    Sexual assault
    Death
    Divorce
    HIV/AIDS

I was surprised until I realized that she has seen worse things in real life on the street where she lived. She had gang members who lived on her street. Drive by shootings were a regular occurrence. I remember going over to her house for Christmas and not being able to leave her house afterwards because there was triple homicide in the street in front of her house and there ended up being a police standoff.
