Not sure what to think of the newer ones. I'm not crazy about them (probably because I'm not the target audience) but I was into teen wolf up until season 4, pretty little liars I gave up on when I got to the end of season 3 and didn't know who A was, I actively hate watch Riverdale, 13 reasons why is a filthy habit of mine and I did love the 100 but I haven't got round to catching up on it...

I was gonna make this into a poll but it was inevitable I would miss out a few and people would complain. So you have the floor ladies...

we stan riverdale even though the second season was a bit of a mess

I really like 13 Reasons Why I dont know why its dispised

[Tony Montana]

Is Riverdale that Good mont? I’ve been meaning to watch it for months

[RileyH]

This too :clap1:

The second season was a bloody ride sis mess is an understatement. Like the first season was kind of cheesy but that was part of its charm I guess but season 2 was like 4 cheesy shows stuffed into one.

Bye I tried to watch that but it was way to social justicey for me. Like I'm left leaning and even I was like this is too bias

[armand.kay]

I'm currently rewatching the OC and the casual homophobia of the early 00s has really just smacked me round the face

[DouglasS]

Easily One Tree Hill

Closely followed by Skins and Dawson's Creek

[Denver]

The Fosters

[DouglasS]

Gossip Girl and The O.C. are good, but slightly overrated.

Pretty sure OTH is more Popular than Gossip Girl also.

Riverdale is enjoyable but just not on the same scale as these other shows imo. It's addictive.

13 Reasons Why has potential

Teen Wolf, Buffy and The Vampire Diaries are good also

PLL is shockingly bad.

[armand.kay]

I don't really remember One Tree Hill I Just remember binging it on E4 one week when I was off school

[DouglasS]

It's my favorite :love:

A good level of drama and serious storylines. The characters are so good also. The first four seasons are brilliant and then it has a time gap where it suffers a little but is still great.

[DouglasS]

I think Dawson's Creek has done well with Michelle Williams and Katie Holmes. Not many teen shows introduce more than one hollywood star.

[LukeB]

Skins
Gossip Girl
The OC
Glee

Is dawsons creek the one that was parodied on the Amanda Show with "Moody's Point"

[DouglasS]

Another show that is very good and is known as a teen show.

[armand.kay]

OMG how could I forget bloody Buffy

[armand.kay]

Literally the best one of the bloody lot

[DouglasS]

Is dawsons creek the one that was parodied on the Amanda Show with "Moody's Point"

Yeah :laugh:

Katie Holmes becomes the lead of Dawson's creek by season two, she was brilliant on the show.

[DouglasS]

I think my favorite three are One Tree Hill, Buffy, Skins.

Dawson's Creek as runnerup as it's iconic and bought to the forefront lots of SL's [such as interracial marriage [was in 90s], first gay male kiss in TV, teacher student relationships etc]

[Dollface]

is Gilmore Girls considered teen drama or no

[armand.kay]

Yeah I would say gilmore girls counts

The reboot of 90210 was actually atrocious television in every possible way. It wasn't even entertainingly bad, it was just bad.

9021NO.

tHe correct top four are Skins, The OC, Gossip Girl and Buffy.

Yeah i forgot to mention Buffy (probably because its so good i dont even think of it as a teen drama). Buffy is probably the best of the lot and does snatch 90210's crown

[Tony Montana]

What about Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life?

[armand.kay]

I never watched them

[armand.kay]

One thing that has really suprised me about skins is how many people prefer gen 2 when gen 1 is clearly superior

[Tony Montana]

They're both Equally great in my eyes. I think Gen 2 had the better storylines, but Gen 1 had better characters.

[armand.kay]

Gen 2 just became too much about effy

DID YOU KNOW?!
The Dumping Ground is the only teen drama ever to star Charlie Brooks. This fact secures The Dumping Ground as the number one best teen drama.

[DouglasS]

Yeah Gen 1 > Gen 2. But both are brilliant.

[LukeB]

wait legend Janine was on The Dumping Ground!! why?

[Denver]

Gen 2 had the better storylines but gen 1 the better characters

When her & Russ from Hollyoaks nearly adopted our Carmen :love:

Aaaaaahhhhh don't wana be anyfin otha than wuddabin tryna be latelaaaay.

If we're talking pure "primary genre" teen drama, the correct answer is One Tree Hill, followed by Gossip Girl, followed by seasons 1-3 of The OC (the final season was trash).

I also have a soft spot for "Awkward" because it's kind of awful :joker:. Though if we're being strict that's more of a comedy than a drama.

The 100 hasn't been a teen drama since Season 1 :nono: it's pretty firmly post-apoc sci-fi. Buffy likewise had teen drama in the early seasons, but by genre it is NOT a "teen drama".

[LemonJam]

Skins of course

[LemonJam]

One thing that has really suprised me about skins is how many people prefer gen 2 when gen 1 is clearly superior

Gen 2 is actually reeeeally bad and I'd personally say Gen 3 was better :o

[user104658]

Skins of course

The only way I can think to describe Skins...

...is that it was a show blatantly written by someone who spent their teens with no actual friends, wanking in their room, who then grew up and became a TV writer and wrote their fantasy of what they imagined a teenager's social existence to look like.

[ArgyESC]

Patito Feo

[Tony Montana]

Gen 2 is actually reeeeally bad and I'd personally say Gen 3 was better :o

3 is Good And Underrated But are no way in hell better than 2

Cook > Gen 3

Funny, this is how I describe One Tree Hill :think:

I liked Season 4 of The OC more than Season 3 tbh. Season 3 featured too many unlikeable new characters that you knew only existed to draw out the plots and were thankfully written out by the end of the season.

[Headie]

I don't know if this counts but this was WAY ahead of it's time

Cook > Gen 3

I enjoyed Gen 3's first season but its second season is a bloody mess. Also I feel like by Gen 3 the show kind of started to become a parody of itself.

Other way around for me. I enjoyed series 6 more than 5. I think Grace's death and the impact it had on the rest of her friends made it better.

I also enjoyed The Character Luke, He was such a good villain

[user104658]

Funny, this is how I describe One Tree Hill :think:

:nono: OTH is cheesy CW trash and knows that it is, and is therefore great for it. Yes it's ridiculous and clichéd but that's the whole point.

Skins, on the other hand, takes itself very, very, (very very very) seriously which makes it pretentious nonsense.

[user104658]

Ryan and Taylor though. :facepalm:

Marissa was a nightmare but that was the point. She was perfect for Ryan. So perfect that he became a cage fighter when she died. The ultimate expression of grief.

[Marsh.]

The only thing I know or remember of Skins is the trailer when it first started with the Beth Ditto song blasting over it. That was my jam in 2007.

[Ant.]

When her & Russ from Hollyoaks nearly adopted our Carmen :love:

:love:

pretty much everyone nearly adopts carmen

[Denver]

Also like half the cast of the 1st and 2nd gen of Skins went to Hollywood or some big TV show :clap1:

Does Charmed count? I thought that series was pretty cool http://https://pmctvline2.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/wish-list-charmed.jpg?w=620&h=420&crop=1

Not really.

A teen drama tends to revolve around teens (played by actors in their early 30s).
