wtf, you're telling me the youtube algorithm slept on this video for an entire year before showing me it existed? with how many retrospectives and how much degrassi content i watch, that's a crime. but happy i can finally discover this video!
So glad this appeared in my recommendations. Finally RUclips understands that I’d love nothing more than to watch almost 7 hours of someone talking about one of my favorite shows.
Yesss, me too but, I feel like although she is not straight, her tales seem very homophobic. I understand they might be in jest but when producing something for the general public I find it harmful to the LGBTQ+ community to laugh off things like homophobic slurs 😞
I agree with everyone I would love to see a video about the other half of Degrassi after they change the name from The Next Generation the title being called just Degrassi after after that on the later half of the series
I’m currently recovering from a stroke and can’t really look at screens so I’ve been listening to your videos to keep me company. Thanks for making these, it’s entertaining and comforting. 💜
the fact that I spent 10 hours in total today listening to you (this video + the secret life video) and you've kept me entertained the whole time?? girl you have a GIFT
Same, except Secret Life was yesterday until I was too exhausted to pay the video the attention it deserves. I finished it by watching the “canon” “epilogue” breakdown today, and now I’m 40 minutes into this video. Hannah is a gift. I’m taking screenshots as that video and her channel blow up. I want to keep track of her well-deserved growth as a fan who got in early. I love getting to be a cheerleader for smaller channels, new or old, who have content so good the world should know about it
Started the Secret Life video last night, fell asleep watching it, had to go back. Finished it, now I'm here. Of course I subscribed! You are hilarious ❤️
if i had a nickel for every time i watched a 4+ hour video of you describing and analyzing a show i’ve never seen, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice lol
JT is the goat of the series. Taken way too early but also at the right time in the show to cement his legacy. Ellie made us all fall in love with goth girls, she was iconic in that way.
i’m so serious when i say that i literally had tears in my eyes seeing this in my recommended. i finished the show about 2 years ago now and no joke ever since ive been trying so hard to find an actual deep dive, like numerous hours long, deep dive. (sorry but a 25 minute long video is not a deep dive that is my lunch break). this is it. ive found it. thank you. i am at peace now.
obsessed with this ive watched so many degrassi videos and they dont or barely mention heather sinclair and its one my favorite running jokes in the show, i rlly like ur content
When I tell you that I still re-watch this show and I'm 30... when you sang the intro, I knew I made the right decision subscribing. You funny af Also the man who yells "Beluga" at Terri is Ali Mukadam. He was on Canadian teen classic Radio Free Roscoe.
@@hannahaltAdding to your affirmation; At first I was offended because Toby was my first Degrassi crush but then you showed the picture and I was like...she's so real honest and true for that. He looks like he could've been one of the execs who pitched the title of that show tbh.
The swishing effect in the background when Ashley learns her dad is gay is called a dolly zoom. It's done by moving the dolly the camera is on and zooming in or out at the same time. It makes the background stretch while the middle of the frame stays the same size. The effect it causes is commonly referred to as "the vertigo effect", because it originated in Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo". The fact that they used a dolly zoom for that part is hog wild btw.
This video is TOO good. Like, it’s EVERYTHING. The remake of the music to avoid copyright, the fashion review, the Heather Sinclair updates are you kidding me You should also go another video in the Degrassi shorts that they used to play. Like the zombie one, the one where Emma time travels, when spinner makes peace with ghost Rick.
my husband never even heard of degrassi before we started dating but i can proudly say the only characters he can name are marco and spinner (pasta sauce scene) and heather sinclair (who the writers were so committed to never giving a face actor that they created holly j’s adopted plot line). pls do part 2 😭
New here.....❤. So this is one of the BEST degrassi break down videos ive seen... most things are 20 min or less, this took alot of dedication that i can really respect. So i became a victim of degrassi a very short time ago 😢. I am almost 35. And i remember it being on the tv and i maybe saw an episode or 5... but idk why i never watched it fr fr. But its ok bc degrassi has me now. So i know this video prolly took SOOOO long, but i really wish you would consider doing the other seasons and even next class, as everyone only does seasons 1-7/9. I understand that after a certain point, it doesn't seem like TNG anymore and a new generation, but its still very good and alot of context to breakdown and go over.. ECLAIRE... the Bandarhi family is AMAZING honestly, i loved them all and would be cool with a video just about them, lol. Idk where im going with this, except that i really really appreciate and respect the content as I've been obsessing over any and every single thing degrassi since i fell victim, which i said was a very short time ago, im sorry i feel disrespectful to the OG degrassi watchers, i wish i would've watched it while airing, but at the same time, i 1000000% understood ALOT more of what is always going on watching at age 34 then i would have watching it at 12 or 13 lol. ❤
I work with handicap adults. Emma’s dad and the way he acted in 100 percent something I’ve seen happen. I work in a behavioral therapy company and have been in similar situations with aggressive clients.
What pisses me off the most is that my algorithm KNOWS ME!! Why the hell did it not recommend this video sooner? Degrassi is literally my #1 comfort show as soon as it ends I restart it from the beginning and seeing as I'm a huge fan of Lauren Daisy, Mike's Mike, Jenny Nicholson, Luke Alexander, Amanda The Jedi, Friendly Space Ninja, Dylan is In Trouble. I should have been seen this video. I'm ready to lock in for 6 and a half hours.
I just finished your Secret Life vid and immediately started this one. I’m excited to be in on the ground floor and once you blow up I am going to be so smug about being follower 195.
This was so amazing!! I would LOVE for you to make another one about Clare Eli and all them but I know this is so much work so I totally understand if not 😭
are you telling me im actually not the only person on this planet with a spider web graph break down of every episode of Degrassi? incredible work, soldier
Very much giving Mikes mic humorous play by play of classic tv shows👏🏼👏🏼 Hanna are so funny can’t wait to see your channel blow up ! Also what was that opening girl 😂😂😂😂
I really don't comment on RUclips videos but I feel the need to tell you that your commentary and way of speaking has made me laugh out loud so many times. you're very funny and entertaining to watch and as a retired kpop Stan the occasional reference does get me every time.
This is my third day watching this video. (I WILL finish it today!) Thank you for this thorough dissection. The amount of effort you put into this is WILD. Whatever it takes 😉
Im glad I found this! I loved it I was cracking up the entire time. I really REALLY hope you end up doing the second and third gen of students in Degrassi at some point. Im gonna come back here reagardless lol youre so funny
Im at the 6 hr mark so far and i just have to say i'm so glad you came across my reccomendations. I've been cackling throughout this whole video. You are so funny, your cat is adorable and this is INDEEEED a masterpiece !!!!
as a Gen Xer I watched degrassi (all seasons TNG and forward) I was shocked at the story telling in this teen tv show. Canada really had alot of leeway for what they could cover. Such a good show.
thank you for this. I watched 11 seasons of Degrassi in the end of 2020/ beginning of 2021 when we were still in the thick of the pandemic and I literally LOVED it. Like it gave me joy for life again. Something about it is so addicting and the fact that its set in the early 2000s is super nostalgic and comforting to me
The fact that you film on your phone and it's this good of quality really makes me want to start my channel even more. My trauma gets in the way as in executive dysfunction.
As someone who grew up with this show as it was airing (left middle school / started high school in 2004), I'm so glad that someone who hadn't grown up with it totally gets the vibe and appreciates the absolute bonkers stuff that happens
i watched all of these seasons of this a few years ago and wanted to pick back up but didn't wanna forgot anything. THANK YOU FOR THIS it's iconic and amazing
i want to thank you for your time and energy spent making this masterpiece - you are wonderful and funny af, everything crafted perfectly.. will be coming back to this gem again and again 💖
Hey just so you’re aware in Ontario it’s super common for schools to run from 7-12 my brothers both attended a school like that as did a few of my exs. It’s kinda normal here. So yeah it all takes place in the same building and nobody questions it.
i found this video so late but if you’re still here, incredible work! if you’re still interested in making things like this i’d love to see a video about the newer kids!
Truly a soap opera of a franchise. I peeked at the wiki and imagine my surprise when I find out how many characters get some sort of harm. Degressi's town clearly lives on a Hell Mouth akin to Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, and Greys Anatomy. The fight music is my new Yakity Sax.
I'm not done with the video, but thank you for unlocking the "moving to British Columbia" and the "healthy food boner" plotlines, I didn't remember what show they were from but they've been living in my head for more than a decade 😅
Around 1:50:00 when talking about Emma’s dad, I totally see the perspective you have and I don’t really enjoy how the plot ended, either, but my mom actually works in a center similar to what Emma’s dad lives in. You would be surprised how often people wander and walk out, how violent they become out of nowhere. While I don’t like the portrayal of someone mentally disabled being violent, I think when we take her dad’s feelings and thoughts into consideration with that context, it makes a lot of sense. I do wish it was handled better, but maybe that’s something that was unfortunately more common at the time. Also, I NEED that loona yyxy/degrassi shirt. Stan loona! (I love Choerry)
I’m kind of sad, I really want to hear you trash some of the later season characters. I’m a little more biased to Claire’s/Sav’s generations, because I was in high school at that time (which makes me feel odd Claire graduated when I was 20/21, despite I would have been in the same grade as her actress (and Ali’s being a year or two before me; she was born in 92). I would like to see your thoughts on later characters (Riley and Zane are my favorite couple of all of Degrassi and I feel it’s such a funny start with Riley), but I do get that that’s likely even harder with like the 1000 episodes a season and some bleh characters. Definitely a fun video all in all, even though I never seen 1-6/7 before starting to watch them recently.
Great video and understanfable from a structural standpoint, but I'm honestly sad we didn't get a proper deep dive into the transitionary period of S7-9 and beyond because that is a peak period for Degrassi. Maybe we'll get that in the future? Either way, incredible video. ...why yes I am a Holly J Stan how could you tell
I didn't know I needed 6+ hours of Degrassi on TOP of my full series rewatch but here we are. Also can we just take a minute to appreciate the evolution of Spinner's hair?
I am so glad this exists. 😂 Degrassi owned my life as a tween/teen and i still watch it from time to time when I need something easily digestible or cheesy. I was SO glad RUclips recommended me this, I absolutely need to watch longform content on a show I've seen ten times
As an elder millennial, I have to say that the convo around 4:32:00 about casually using the r word, that was just how we all talked at the time without any repercussions. I obviously use care with language now, but that didn’t really start until the later 2000s-2010s. It’s why people like Shane Dawson was able to post what he did and not get cancelled at the time. It was a sign of the times that I’m way glad we moved past and have become educated about. Call out culture was not really a thing either. It was hushed tones and averted eyes. So glad we are more conscientious now.
degrassi is one of my FAVORITE shows but i've always focused on seasons 9-14 because i watched them live, so it was fun to remember all of the wild stuff that happened in the first two thirds. i'm honestly shocked at the amount of violence between the characters early on in the show (as if drew and bianca didnt kill someone with a brick in s13) so seeing it mapped out was hilarious lmao. you really have a talent for comedy and keeping your videos interesting the entire time. a lot of videos like this lose their steam as they go or get repetitive, but i was captivated the whole way through!! the editing is amazing (i've been singing your sped up arms of the angel so often the last few days i had to show my partner the clip) and it's clear how passionate you are about these shows :) thank you for all of your work, i know i'm going to watch these videos over and over again!!!
I was there too but I was still a kid so my sister would never let me watch with her but I have the most vivid memory of that brick scene 😭😭 and remember I couldn’t stop thinking about it for WEEKS!!!
😂 I can't with you calling Dan Levy, "knock-off Dan Levy." Also thank you for condensing my annual rewatch of the good seasons of Degrassi down to 6 and 1/2 hours.
Love these series recaps! Just an idea, you could make each season a video, then it won't be so much for you to do at once and you'll have more regular videos on your channel. But keep it up, thank you for your hard work!
I am from the generation of The Kids of Degrassi Street DJH and DH. I didn't think I'd sit through a daylong video on this Degrassi Series, but here I am and enjoying!❤
Love the breakdown I am one of the many people who Hope you continue on and do the remaining seasons. Small note you did say that there was not a South Asian character until the new crop of kids, Manny is Filipina they are considered South Asian as well
this is what mental illness looks like
LMAO...is it mental illness if i watched the whole thing having already watched the show about 5 times?
no this is what happens when you let the hyperfixation win 😭😭😭😭
@yeahyeahsingingchallenge1519 so true bestie
YES! luv
@thegmw8285 I watch this whole series through the Netflix remake once every year 😭
wtf, you're telling me the youtube algorithm slept on this video for an entire year before showing me it existed? with how many retrospectives and how much degrassi content i watch, that's a crime. but happy i can finally discover this video!
Right I’ve watched at least six Degrassi retrospectives, and I was only shown this video yesterday in February 2024
Same I thought the algorithms knew me 😢
So glad this appeared in my recommendations. Finally RUclips understands that I’d love nothing more than to watch almost 7 hours of someone talking about one of my favorite shows.
fully agreed, @katie j. and her SVU video has me hooked on plot dissections
She came, dropped the most chaotic long form content, and vanished into the night, an icon
this queen graced the internet for a couple videos and dipped 1 year ago. come back queen we miss you.
unfortunately v busy being an attorney but i might pop back when i can 😔
Have I watched every available Degrassi deep dive? Yes. Am I going to watch this one? YES.
Literally!!
SAME LOL
Yesss, me too but, I feel like although she is not straight, her tales seem very homophobic. I understand they might be in jest but when producing something for the general public I find it harmful to the LGBTQ+ community to laugh off things like homophobic slurs 😞
ngl im so sad you aren’t doing the rest of the seriessss. we NEED IT sav and holly j? the twins??? FIONA!!!!! eli and claire???? i’m devastated
Yes!!! Please we need this
💯
I 2nd this.
I agree with everyone I would love to see a video about the other half of Degrassi after they change the name from The Next Generation the title being called just Degrassi after after that on the later half of the series
I NEED THE REST
ellie always looked like a guitar hero character and that’s a slay
Ur so right about this Omg
I’m currently recovering from a stroke and can’t really look at screens so I’ve been listening to your videos to keep me company. Thanks for making these, it’s entertaining and comforting. 💜
omg! please take it easy and get some rest for your recovery ❤ good luck
Hope you heal well, please take time to rest your body and mind. I'm a fellow clot survivor and I wish you the absolute best 🤍
Wahh thank you so much!! Wishing you a speedy recovery 🩷🩷
Wish you a speedy recovery.
May I ask what caused it?
the fact that I spent 10 hours in total today listening to you (this video + the secret life video) and you've kept me entertained the whole time?? girl you have a GIFT
LOL thank you SO much- this makes me feel better about wasting quadruple that amount of time working on these videos
I am on the 10 hour journey XD just came from secret life to here)

@@Rya18260SAME
If you do second gen I might cry of happiness. Your comedic timing and relatability (fellow iowa) fills me with so much joy it’s unreal
if i had a nickel for every time i watched a 4+ hour video of you describing and analyzing a show i’ve never seen, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice lol
JT is the goat of the series. Taken way too early but also at the right time in the show to cement his legacy. Ellie made us all fall in love with goth girls, she was iconic in that way.
at risk of inflating your ego, i’ll say you’re both hilarious and dedicated. kudos to you for an even longer video than the secret life video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i’m so serious when i say that i literally had tears in my eyes seeing this in my recommended. i finished the show about 2 years ago now and no joke ever since ive been trying so hard to find an actual deep dive, like numerous hours long, deep dive. (sorry but a 25 minute long video is not a deep dive that is my lunch break). this is it. ive found it. thank you. i am at peace now.
Pls do seasons 10-14!!!!!
i think its weird that they tried to give rick a redemption
This is my kind of video. I love knowing every plot point without having to sit down and actually watch the show. Keep the fantastic content coming!
obsessed with this ive watched so many degrassi videos and they dont or barely mention heather sinclair and its one my favorite running jokes in the show, i rlly like ur content
The "Mmm whatcha saaaay" rendition is killing me. 😂😂 I'm in tears. 🤣
When I tell you that I still re-watch this show and I'm 30... when you sang the intro, I knew I made the right decision subscribing. You funny af
Also the man who yells "Beluga" at Terri is Ali Mukadam. He was on Canadian teen classic Radio Free Roscoe.
I wish he would yell beluga at me
Uhm i need an endless supply of you explaining shows I've already watched to me
Tysm I’m definitely down to do more but I’m waiting until I can be monetized to commit to anything else ❤️😇
Yesss! Get your money I'm subscribed & I'll be here whenever the next thing comess!
As a infodumper this is beautiful. I listened to this while cleaning and it was wonderful.
i LOVE your hannah a cappella version of the degrassi theme song😭😭 especially those background vocals!
Lmao at saying Toby looks like the word bazaarvark because…. YES
you don’t know how affirming it is to hear you say this 🩷
@@hannahaltAdding to your affirmation; At first I was offended because Toby was my first Degrassi crush but then you showed the picture and I was like...she's so real honest and true for that. He looks like he could've been one of the execs who pitched the title of that show tbh.
id love a part two of this with the rest of the degrassi cast! im currently binging your channel's content
girl this video kept me busy for DAYS! please make more content. this was so fun
Just came from the Degrassi subreddit where someone was recommending you, I’m glad somebody is as hyper fixated on this show as I am LMAOOOOO
Jay playing the drums while simultaneously only having eyes for Manny still gets me going in a way that nothing else ever will 😍😍😍
You’re gonna need to make one of these for Hart of Dixie at some point. These are so entertaining. I really hope more people see your videos.
HART OF DIXIE LOVERS RISE!!!! I love that show so much I didn’t even think of this as an option. I’d totally do that if I have time at any point
i would LOVE that!!!
My wife and I have been watching this video with our dinners for the past few nights. Wonderfully fun stuff!

Any time my life gets too hard I just quote Jays "Bummer times" and everything is instantly better
the crazy/funny part is this only scratches the surface of TNG. So many more seasons and characters

Great video and understanfable from a structural standpoint, but I'm honestly sad we didn't get a proper deep dive into the transitionary period of S7-9 and beyond because that is a peak period for Degrassi. Maybe we'll get that in the future?
Either way, incredible video.
...why yes I am a Holly J Stan how could you tell
I didn't know I needed 6+ hours of Degrassi on TOP of my full series rewatch but here we are.
Also can we just take a minute to appreciate the evolution of Spinner's hair?
Girl when you said Snake shaved his hair off but you weren't sure why because he barley has any i lost it. 🤣🤣
honestly justice for heather sinclair
I am so glad this exists. 😂 Degrassi owned my life as a tween/teen and i still watch it from time to time when I need something easily digestible or cheesy. I was SO glad RUclips recommended me this, I absolutely need to watch longform content on a show I've seen ten times
“You’ve got horse shoes up your butt”. Umm wut? Is spinner trying to say he’s lucky? But why up his butt? Lmao
Videos like these remind me why I liked Degrassi, thank you for the vindication
no girl you're actually hilarious and I'm so happy this is the introduction to your channel, I love you D:
As an elder millennial, I have to say that the convo around 4:32:00 about casually using the r word, that was just how we all talked at the time without any repercussions. I obviously use care with language now, but that didn’t really start until the later 2000s-2010s. It’s why people like Shane Dawson was able to post what he did and not get cancelled at the time. It was a sign of the times that I’m way glad we moved past and have become educated about. Call out culture was not really a thing either. It was hushed tones and averted eyes. So glad we are more conscientious now.
can we get a Greek breakdown next??? Mainly just so I can watch you have to pull the blue tape off the same two relationships 500 times
degrassi is one of my FAVORITE shows but i've always focused on seasons 9-14 because i watched them live, so it was fun to remember all of the wild stuff that happened in the first two thirds. i'm honestly shocked at the amount of violence between the characters early on in the show (as if drew and bianca didnt kill someone with a brick in s13) so seeing it mapped out was hilarious lmao.
you really have a talent for comedy and keeping your videos interesting the entire time. a lot of videos like this lose their steam as they go or get repetitive, but i was captivated the whole way through!! the editing is amazing (i've been singing your sped up arms of the angel so often the last few days i had to show my partner the clip) and it's clear how passionate you are about these shows :) thank you for all of your work, i know i'm going to watch these videos over and over again!!!
I'm also gonna re-watch the video again more often I love degrassi so much it's awesome 👌♥
I was there too but I was still a kid so my sister would never let me watch with her but I have the most vivid memory of that brick scene 😭😭 and remember I couldn’t stop thinking about it for WEEKS!!!
The fact that they tried to make us like Rick and Peter?? Absolutely not.
😂 I can't with you calling Dan Levy, "knock-off Dan Levy."
Also thank you for condensing my annual rewatch of the good seasons of Degrassi down to 6 and 1/2 hours.
Love these series recaps! Just an idea, you could make each season a video, then it won't be so much for you to do at once and you'll have more regular videos on your channel. But keep it up, thank you for your hard work!
I got recommended this and RUclips really knew what was up. I was just in the middle of a sad degrassi rewatch.
I am from the generation of The Kids of Degrassi Street DJH and DH. I didn't think I'd sit through a daylong video on this Degrassi Series, but here I am and enjoying!❤
Love the breakdown I am one of the many people who Hope you continue on and do the remaining seasons. Small note you did say that there was not a South Asian character until the new crop of kids, Manny is Filipina they are considered South Asian as well
I might rewatch because of this video I love you
Y’all she needs 1,000 subs to get monetized, let’s get her that casshhhh!!! 🎉❤
sooooo true bestie!! my secret life video just got age restricted so im in the trenches- hoping to reach 1k soon!
I'm halfway through this and I just want to thank you for feeding my soul with this
Goth Ashley was so annoying but her fashion was *chefs kiss*
This video is iconic and I’m very sad there aren’t like 10 more for me to watch.
I hope to see another Degrassi video soon hopefully I enjoyed your video about the earlier seasons of the original cast too
