Netflix Recommendation: Grand Army

[phlegmatic]

So since I’m terrible at explaining shows without giving spoilers, I’ll give you the online summary about what Grand Army is about:
__
Five students at the largest public high school in Brooklyn take on a chaotic world as they fight to succeed, survive, break free, and seize the future.

TW: Sensitive Topics

It’s exceptionally diverse and pretty realistic when it comes to how minorities struggles when it comes to race, sexuality, and when people deal with sexism and victim blaming.

---

So far there is only 1 season, which includes 9 episodes with the average of 50 minutes each.

My thoughts:

Now personally, I’ve watched this and really enjoyed it. It’s pretty accurate in terms of how kids act and it’s nothing like the shows that pretend to know who kids are nowadays. It covers a lot of sensitive topics in ways that are psychologically correct and socially. I think this is an important show to watch if you don’t understand much about how things can affect people when it comes to S/A, stealing, unreasonable or wrongful punishment.

So would you recommend it? What would you rate it?

It’s a great show, some ehhhs but overall great

[phlegmatic]

Of course I recommend it. 11/10.

[CrazyCaliope]

DAMN! That’s a really high recommendation.

It’s very worthy of it though. Some events hit home and they didn’t seem to get much wrong, except just like different details but that’s because every situation comes in different shapes in sizes.

Will look into it that. Adding to my list now to have a look at it later then.
