High School (2022– )
10/10
This is really good, surprised it didn't get more attention.

This show appeared by luck in my feed in "more like this" imdb section.

It feels, by the number of ratings that amazon didn't really bothered to invest too much in advertising for this show.

This show has so much soul, the characters and their actions feel so real. This kind of shows about teenagers are so rare in this days. I had no idea at what to expect from this. At first I thought that the 2 leading actors play themselves in a story about their high school and the beginning of their career of musicians. Only then i found that it is based on real life duo Canadian Tegan and Sara.

After i watch the show, i searched about their musical career, and found alot of good songs, my favourite we're definitely some of their old acoustic sessions. Watching on YouTube some of their interviews, they are so funny and those banters in concerts are absolutely a joy to watch. Also, the book and audiobook are so good, especially because they are narrated by the authors themselves.

My only fear is that they will not get a second season, and will not be able to finish the story. They found the perfect cast, not only the leading cast that are perfect for their counterparts, but also all the group of friends and their family. Maybe they should have made a miniseries with longer episodes?

It will be a shame to be cancelled, because it's alot of heart put into this show. Tegan said that she hope for 4-5 seasons, but in this days is hard to keep people's attention for such a long period of time, especially if it's not a commercial success. I hope that they will get more seasons, the story deserves to be told till the end.
