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 . 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 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".

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.

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

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.

Ryan and Taylor though.

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.

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.

Not really.

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