the way this was an integral part of my childhood omg and no one ever talks about it. the record for the most unlikeable characters rlly goes to this one too like only a couple of these people were worth rooting for it was crazy
I remember feeling so grown up and like I was watching something naughty because it was a show about sex. Except that it's literally done in the tamest possible way.
Same I watched it in my late teens and was ASTOUNDED EVERY EPISODE. BTW I'm British and my teen years were probably a lot closer to the show "Skins" than I'd like to admit... I was FASCINATED by this show!! It was truly a "soap" for the kids except they forgot to make it "youth friendly" it was the ABC loop hole show 😂😂😂
I’m currently rewatching this and it’s PAINFUL! All the characters I enjoyed as a teen, now make me want to punch a wall! Ricky is and will always be the only NORMAL AND LIKEABLE character
It's crazy how different Amy looks from the beginning to the end of the show. She really did look 15 in the first episode which is refreshing for a teen show.
@Beautifullymonique I liked him becuz he tries to be a good person. He doesn't manipulate anyone and he genuinely cared about others. I would feel sorry for them if the show continued. A mature version of Ben would fuck these characters royally.
He was no better in the end if the show. How does being with Amy mean character growth? How does enjoying Ben suffer mean character growth? How does making Ashley leave her family at 16 mean character growth? If getting what u want without learning a lesson about having compassion for others, or taking responsibility for problems you have created, or seeing and trying to fix the damage you have caused is growth I feel sorry for all of you.
one of the guys doing a random cartwheel in the hall is the most accurate thing written into the show. that and the teens not understanding how marriage work
core memory unlocked. despite this show being one of abc family’s most popular shows, it gets overlooked and forgotten too often. ricky is hands down the best character of this entire show and has the best developmental arc. the irony of amy not wanting him to be a part of john’s life in the beginning when realistically, he was the better parent throughout the show will never cease to amaze me. she was truly unworthy.
I’m only 5 minutes in and you’re already absolutely correct about everything, I’m looking forward to your series bc I couldn’t get through more than 1 season of this god awful show
My excitement for this show when it was airing was so unnecessary but I loved every minute of it. I thought it was so "scandalous" that I was watching it in middle school 😂
So excited this came up on my feed! The chokehold this show had on me when I was younger. I rewatched it during covid… watching with an adult eye was something 😂 I was judging past me harddd
As a 12 year old I really thought this was just what high school was like. Boy was I in for a shock when school wasn’t constantly a soap opera my freshman year
Ben was annoying i hated Amy and him together like he got mad because Ricky was taking care of John w her... Admit, prefer Ricky and Amy together, and not because they have a son together but because they helped each other grow I hate that the writers made Amy not get married to Ricky after they said they wanted to get married 100X like the writers were on some bipolar shit....
apparently their was suppose to be another season where Amy ended up with Ricky, but because they ruined the last season so bad got that crap of a last season.
@@MariaHidalgo-dq8uk true, but no one really liked her anyways. She came off way to entitled when she never really had to struggle. I will never forget how she had the nerve to judge her mom for getting pregnant after she had just given birth at 16!
@@lstarsabbI feel like it was reasonable for her to feel some kind of way bc I’m 16 and Ashley is like 13/14, why are you having a baby?? I think it was just normal for her to feel that way
The show aired like 2 weeks after I graduated from high school and thought the timing of it was funny, so I checked it out...and I'm so sorry you were exposed to this at the age of 11 😂
i’m just starting the video but I am READY!!! Shook the pearls off the church ladies in my hometown, my mom included so I never got to see it. If the title appeared in an ad (which it did constantly) she’d shut it down real quick “there is no secret.” 🤣🤣🤣
lmaooo you're a godsend for this. i sometimes want to see this show for the sheer amount of out of context clips i've seen but i also don't want to dive into 22 episodes of this 😭
this show is really as chaotic as I remember. Like why did they have to do ALL of that 😭 those plotlines had me shaking in my boots as a kid scared for highschool😭
I often wonder if anyone else watched this because no one else ever talks about it but i remember watching this VIVIDLY 🤣 this narration was awesome lol
so excited! this show was a mess. i actually watched it around 11 or 12 and never finished it but then revisited it about 2 years ago and finished the whole thing. honestly i loved the show on rewatch. i wish it would’ve gone on longer. sometimes you need the bad abc family drama shows every now and then.
this show was one of my guilty pleasures. i never seen it air on tv but stumbled upon it on nextfix i believe a few years back & binged watched all the seasons. i can’t wait to relive it with your recaps ! you did a great job capturing the first season ❤️
I wasn’t allowed to watch this show at age 11 so I had to sneak and watch it back in the day (which was odd to me considering other shows/movies that I was allowed to watch at that age and younger lol). Your video sparked my current binge watch of this show. Great Video!!! ☺️
This simply made me want to rewatch the series I haven’t seen it since I was a kid and forgot how good it was lmao. I was not a PLL girly the show gomn.
So glad I clicked on this in my recommended. Loved your commentary. 😂 Ben was the worst of the whole series, I stand on that one lmao And btw you are so incredibly beautiful! 🫶🏻
Omg I was so sad when I got to the end of this and realized it was a recent video and there was no part two yet :,( I never watched the show but thought I would get the highlights from you and it did not disappoint lol! Keep up the great work
Ricky doing that cartwheel always sends me lmaooo. This show was so cringy I can’t believe I used to watch it 😭 tbh I didn’t even finish it I moved onto PLL so I don’t even know how the show finished
Just came across your channel and I cannot wait to watch you recap this entire series! It was one of the worst shows I have ever watched every episode of. I tried rewatching a few years ago but couldn't get through it so thank you for sacrifice.
i binged watched this show with my mother a few years ago, i swear i forgot the name and wanted to find it again and you popped up. So glad I found you. Its funny because at the time me and my mom loved this show but looking back some of the characters were very insufferable, but definitely nostalgic times for me as a teen though. Thank you very much and hope to see more of this soon. Hope you have a great day!
This is the recap I needed in my life. This show had me in a chokehold thru my teen years. @12:34: “I think they just hated bad bitches” !! That was my exact takeaway at the time 😂😂
i remember watching this and thinking of it like a teenage soap opera lol also can cut Amy some slack on the crying because pregnancy hormones are a bitch so it makes sense that a teen would be extra hormonal
Team Adriane!❤ this was my ish in highschool… I found this show shortly after I was pregnant so I definitely related to being a teen mom. But when PLL came out it definitely pushed Secret life to the side 😂
I am so ready for a season 2 recap 😂 this show was a staple in my middle school years. I watch it now and laugh, but omg I remember watching it back then and waiting for the next seasons to come out. I loved the show so much and HATED the ending.
I started watching the first ten minutes of this show as a 63 years only because of Shelene Wosley and the fact she is in the high school band. I hung up from show after Shelene Woodley went to the girls’ bathroom with her two friends. ZInstead of watching show, i will just watch your update.
Part 2 is out now !
the way this was an integral part of my childhood omg and no one ever talks about it. the record for the most unlikeable characters rlly goes to this one too like only a couple of these people were worth rooting for it was crazy
We really don’t have much to work with on this show 😭
No lie, I had to let it go way before it ended 😂
Oh gosh that’s why she’s😊😊😊😊😊I’m OI have her 😊😊
I remember feeling so grown up and like I was watching something naughty because it was a show about sex. Except that it's literally done in the tamest possible way.
@@FabulousSquidwardliterally!!!!
I watched this as an adult once when I was bored and couldn't find anything. This show was wild. Sometimes I felt like I was watching an SNL sketch.
Same I watched it in my late teens and was ASTOUNDED EVERY EPISODE. BTW I'm British and my teen years were probably a lot closer to the show "Skins" than I'd like to admit...
I was FASCINATED by this show!! It was truly a "soap" for the kids except they forgot to make it "youth friendly" it was the ABC loop hole show 😂😂😂
Yep I was 23 when it premiered. I don't think I finished the series. I may have gotten as far as season 2 or 3
I’m currently rewatching this and it’s PAINFUL! All the characters I enjoyed as a teen, now make me want to punch a wall! Ricky is and will always be the only NORMAL AND LIKEABLE character
I needed to mentally prepare myself before hearing that secret life intro again 😭😭😭 it hit me like a war flashback
😂😂😂
It makes me feel exactly like I did at 12 years old. Horny and anxious.
😭😭
It's crazy how different Amy looks from the beginning to the end of the show. She really did look 15 in the first episode which is refreshing for a teen show.
I was thinking the same thing. When I was a kid watching the show I felt like they were so grown lol now the look like babies
I mean I'm pretty sure Shaliene was actually 15/16 when they started filming.
I think Amy and Ashley were actually their character ages (or only a year from it)
This show was Juno on crack
This is the perfect description for it
Yo 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Beautifullymonique AM I WRONG tho 😂😂😂 though I don’t remember the Juno characters being as insufferable
@@myliza700 You didn't tell not one lie they stressed me out so bad 😂😂😂😂😂
this show is exactly why im not a teen mom. the message most definitely got to me.
Amy had No Character development at all 😅
She really didn’t…
@@AishahJenmiif anything she regressed
@@sixfeetundertheradar6080I was going to say this too. She just got worse 😂
I still go beef with her imma be so for real. I can’t watch Shailene in nothing else
And I swear, the constant pulling back of her hair annoyed tf out of me. How many times in one scene is she going to pull back her hair 😭
The way my mom used to say whenever we’d watch this “let’s take a shot every time they say sex” and I was 13
Pls 😭😭😭
Forreal😂😂😂
I refused to rewatch this show on a tv bc they say sex in every other sentence 😭
@@honeylavenderlatte so cringe a 13 year old totally wrote the script
Had to had the volume on low bc of how much they said it😭😭😂
Your hatred for Ben is EVERYTHING! 😂
I never understood why anyone liked him!
THANK U I LOVE BEING A BEN HATER
If Ben has no haters then I’m dead
I liked Ben in the beginning and then I started seeing his true colors 😂😂😂😂
@Beautifullymonique I liked him becuz he tries to be a good person. He doesn't manipulate anyone and he genuinely cared about others. I would feel sorry for them if the show continued. A mature version of Ben would fuck these characters royally.
Ben needed to get over himself, jfc he was so annoying
ricky really is the king of character growth huh? I forgot what an absolute menace he was in season 1
And season 2 and season 3 and a half.
These shows always do this with the bad guy. They tried to do the same with Bryce on 13 Reasons Why.
He was no better in the end if the show. How does being with Amy mean character growth? How does enjoying Ben suffer mean character growth? How does making Ashley leave her family at 16 mean character growth? If getting what u want without learning a lesson about having compassion for others, or taking responsibility for problems you have created, or seeing and trying to fix the damage you have caused is growth I feel sorry for all of you.
lol! You said “I could not be a teenager in 2008”. I was a teenager in 2008 & I have major nostalgia over that time. Miss that era! 🥲

Facts
I will never forgive her for turning down his proposal even though he deserved sooooo much more
Not the drumsticks in the back pocket 😂 "you know he was into some shady shit" 😂 I cannot stop laughing
Pleeeeaaseee do the whole show this is so good. You killed this.
Thank you 💗. Part 2 is coming VERY soon!
I will watch it
the ben hatred is everything ive ever needed. i consistently would dream about adrian’s lip gloss as an 11 y/o. LMAOOO
thank you for this video.
I’m only 5 minutes in and you’re already absolutely correct about everything, I’m looking forward to your series bc I couldn’t get through more than 1 season of this god awful show
Thank you 💗. I have a love hate relationship for this show 😭 but I will definitely cover a lot more shows in the future!
The ending was incredibly dissatisfying.
My excitement for this show when it was airing was so unnecessary but I loved every minute of it. I thought it was so "scandalous" that I was watching it in middle school 😂
Saaaame I was scared of my mom finding out and when she finally did she was like "oh this is a cute show. Seems pretty tame"
My parents were pissed when they found out I was watching this show 😅😭
Looking back now, idk if I blame them.
I thought this girl was so cool for watching it in 6th grade bc I could never 😭😭
So excited this came up on my feed! The chokehold this show had on me when I was younger.
I rewatched it during covid… watching with an adult eye was something 😂 I was judging past me harddd
The dads acting will forever be HILARIOUS
“She ate that one little thing.”
😂😂😂
That took me out for some reason 😅
I NEED a video for season 2. This was so fun to watch.
It will come VERY soon 🌚
Not me sipping my tea and listening like I didn’t already watch the show
As a 12 year old I really thought this was just what high school was like. Boy was I in for a shock when school wasn’t constantly a soap opera my freshman year
Asked my mom ‘what is sl*t school’ at 10.
She replied ‘it’s a TV show you’re not watching anymore’ 🤣🤣😭🤣😭
why I ever gave this show any of my time is beyond me, yet here I am voluntarily watching a recap. Humans are weird
Had to pause and add the comment that “I think they just hate bad bitches” bc Adrienne carries a purse instead of a back pack 😂💕😂😂
I used to watch this with my mom and we would recite the ending PSA together 😂😂
I've never seen this show but i love your recap. Adrian deserved better! This is like a crazy wattpad series 😂😂😂
This show also made me want to live above a butcher
💀💀💀
Crazy bc I was JUST thinking about this show and how no one has ever revisited it for a deep dive
Ben was annoying i hated Amy and him together like he got mad because Ricky was taking care of John w her... Admit, prefer Ricky and Amy together, and not because they have a son together but because they helped each other grow I hate that the writers made Amy not get married to Ricky after they said they wanted to get married 100X like the writers were on some bipolar shit....
YOU RIGHT.
apparently their was suppose to be another season where Amy ended up with Ricky, but because they ruined the last season so bad got that crap of a last season.

this show was after my time, but i can never forget one of the kids saying "my [redacted] died because i had great sex"
We didn't kill your [redacted] Grace 😢
George moving into the garage after Anne asked for a divorce is giving very much Austin McBroom
The best part of this show for me when I watched it as a teen was that the mom, Ann, was the main girl in the movie Pretty In Pink !
Also famous for other movies! She was basically the Lindsay Lohan of the 1980’s.
Girl I am EXCITED for part 2! This show was so BAD but I was addicted to it
I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY MADE THIS VIDEO! I unironically love this show! I made my husband watch it with me 😂
This is the energy this chaotic a*s show needs, love it!
the way i RAN to press this video secret life was a fever dream lmaooo
The way I immediately subscribed to your channel soley based on the Britney Spears poster alone. I just KNOW you must have good taste and good takes 👌
🌚

Grace is a villian but the real villians are madison and Lauren. They are the worst friends to exist
The way I was a ride or die for Ricky and still is. Cus one thing they can’t say about him is that he ain’t never step the fuck up and be a father.
RIGHT?! Cause Ricky gave my boy John everything!! Had me considering being a step mom at 15 😂
this show is really as chaotic as I remember. Like why did they have to do ALL of that 😭 those plotlines had me shaking in my boots as a kid scared for highschool😭
You ate this up. Ive rewatched this show annually since I was 15, and your delivery was spectacular. Subscribed. 💌
Yess this video was great! Didn’t even feel the time pass, you’re great at what you do and imma neeed more partssss!!
as someone who was never gonna watch the show but was veeeery curious about it when it came out i thank u for ur service
I wasn’t allowed to watch this show when it was originally airing LMAO

This video was therapy for me
Character descriptions= Gold.
i HAD to go rewatch this series fr
now i can watch these and agree :)
I haven’t seen a second of this show, but damn is this breakdown compelling… and unhinged.
I’m only 0:40 in and already so glad I found you 😂 I’m so excited
thank god you made this video because I was partially convinced this show was a fever dream
This was amazing, loved it! I'm subscribing and can't wait for part 2.

This and skins and Degrassi really had me thinking my life should be more dramatic.
UK Skins had me 👀
Just started this video, my first video of yours, and I’m so excited!
The absolute CHOKEHOLD that this series had on me from the ages of like 12-14 was insane!
This show was single handedly responsible for my teenaged abstinence 😭
First of all. Why was this recap better than the whole show. I’m literally getting ready to rewatch even though I know it’s going to be horrible 😭
I started watching the first ten minutes of this show as a 63 years only because of Shelene Wosley and the fact she is in the high school band. I hung up from show after Shelene Woodley went to the girls’ bathroom with her two friends. ZInstead of watching show, i will just watch your update.
i watched the entire series on netflix one summer when i was 13😭 this show was wild
I was obsessed with this show in middle school because my parents were insanely strict
I love a good show recap, I can’t wait for more!
