B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite teen dramas into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, if you haven’t learned anything else about me so far, I can guarantee you’ve learned that I love teen dramas. I have since I was a teen myself. 

I grew up watching Glee, Awkward., Degrassi: The Next Generation, the lot of them. 

Some are definitely better than others. In fact, some are even self-aware like The O.C. and Dawson’s Creek. 

I’ll even admit that I watched all of 13 Reasons Why, and I’ve seen most of Riverdale. I’m not proud, but it’s like what we’ve talked about over on the B Movies Channel. Riverdale provides a sort of escapism, and 13 Reasons Why basically shows everything you shouldn’t do as a screenwriter.

I digress. 

Teen dramas are great because you never know what you’re going to get. Additionally, they tackle all of our favorite after school special topics…sometimes with the subtlety and grace of a bull in a china shop. 

Or, y’know, a teenager addicted to caffeine pills that they’re equating with the seriousness of hardcore drug usage. 

I’ll shoot y’all straight. This was another TOUGH one. I had to limit myself to 10, because if I didn’t, we’d truly be here all day. 

The good news, you can expect dedicated pieces about several of the teen dramas on this list, much like the one I did on Sweet Valley High. 

Welcome to the B Movies Blog, bitch 

I hope you’re ready to cover everything from the famous Saved By The Bell anti-drug PSA to Manny’s thong. I know I am.
