Please don't spend money on this.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Degrassi The Next Generation is for sure an amazing show. From the issues it covers, to the best acting, and writing I've ever come across in TV it's no clue why this show and it's other progressers and movies have been so popular and well known. It's so relatable that it has me emotionally attached to characters that have gone through, and are currently dealing with problems I have dealt with myself. Adam being the trans gender one of the bunch had me so attached to him. I've got a cousin who's trans, and even though I'm not trans I know exactly how it feels to not be 'normal' to others around you. I'm bisexual and have been teased, made fun of... Etc.It also handles the problem of divorce which I've also been through. The character Clare who I'm most like went through it and she's also my fave.Tristan, Eli, Maya, Becky, Drew, Alli, and Jenna are also people I'm attached to from the show. Tristan for the fact of not being straight, Maya, Eli, Becky, and Drew because they go through dealing with losing someone. I've dealt with losing people through death before... So I know how horrible it is. There's also Alli who is abused a few times. Which has happened to me. So yeah it's a pretty big deal.I adore the Degrassi writers also! Being a writer myself I know it's not easy to write about such issues which really need to be addressed more.To me it's become not only my fave show on TV, but it is the most important show there's ever been. It makes people see what the world really is, what teens like me (I'm 16) have been going though and continue to deal with.Degrassi is just lovely is every way. I honestly don't see how someone could dislike it or hate it at all.It's pure gold and it's had such an impact on my life and lots of others. So if you haven't given the show a try yet... Well then go and watch it. I promise you there's more than just one or two stories that relate to you in it. It'll make you laugh, smile, happy, sad-to depressed to where you cry.So go and give this wonderful show a watch. You'll be thankful you did.

Degrassi The Next Generation is a wonderfully refreshing teen drama that centers around the lives of several teenagers and young adults. It's nice to see these kids go through the same types of issues that I myself went through as a teenager. The show debuted in 2001 (and was based on the original 80s series Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High) to critical acclaim.Even if the show has it's moments of total dorkiness, it is responsible for launching the successful careers of Nina Dobrev (Vampire Diaries), Drake and Shenae Grimes (90210). That's gotta count for something! The show itself is well-written, directed and acted. The plots are always engaging and the actors are actually the ages that they are portraying, which is always nice (does anybody remember Dawson's Creek? Sigh). Ultimately, I'd say the show is interesting, the stories are real, and it does not shy away from the issues (however controversial they may be). Give it a chance.And for those who were fans of the original 80s series. Trust me, The Next Generation somehow manages to stand alone while paying homage to what made the original series so great: real issues + real teens = real life/entertainment.Give it a chance! 9.5/10

If you are between the ages of 12-18, this show is for you. It deals with drama typical high schoolers go through. Seasons 1-2 are pretty boring, where they are just "introducing" the show. Seasons 3-7 are the best, to me at least. It goes through 3 pregnancy story lines (there's a fourth in S10, but most saw it coming), having a child in high school, shooting, stabbing, rape, homosexuality, cutting, exposing your body to a camera, stripping, stealing, fighting, cancer, you name it. Unfortunately, all the original "The Next Generation" characters left after season 7, and only Emma, Manny, and Liberty stayed. They ended up leaving post-S7. Anyway, without the original characters, they no longer hold the title "The Next Generation". In fact, if you own Comcast cable, on the channel menu, Degrassi: The Next Generation is only called "Degrassi". That upset me very much.I have easily noticed something of the new season: It revolves around relationships. Yes, relationships may consume the attention of many high schoolers, that's not all they go through. Remember all the things the listed? Yeah, post season 7 will never go there. Degrassi has slacked off tremendously on the "going there" scale, but you would get a kick out of the repeats.Even though Degrassi has some faults, it's a good show, and you should totally watch it!

This show is such a delight to watch. Over the years, it has become one of my favorite television shows. It portrays REAL teens, and I think REAL teens should be exposed to this show. They go through the same situations and drama that a normal school would have. All kids can relate to this show, some more than others, but it is pure entertainment as well. You will become obsessesd with the show and follow all of the many characters that are featured on this show.Degrassi: The Next Generation is simply an amazing show, and the recent Boiling Point has been the best season in a long time. The show went downhill for a short time, but now it is back, better than ever, with a brand new fresh cast. Check it out! I give Degrassi 10 stars. It deserves it!
