I can not praise this show enough. Firstly, The characters feel relatable as you can really feel emotions towards them and root for them (or against them) throughout each storyline. Secondly, this show portrays mental illness as realistic as possible. As a person who suffers from depression myself i could really relate to Rae's character, seeing her go though tough events and feeling self-loathing and thinking about suicidal thoughts it reminded me of myself going through such dark times. Finally, unlike a lot of teen shows nowadays portrays real teenage issues that a lot of teenagers go though such as bullying, homophobia, mental illnesses, deaths of loved ones, and loneliness amongst others. In my opinion this show is worth checking out.
