Degrassi: The Next Generation

If Degrassi: The Next Generation were a sport, it’d be extreme emotional gymnastics—complete with triple axels around issues no other teen drama would touch with a ten-foot pole. We've got every teen trope under the sun, plus a dash of Canadian flavor that somehow makes school shootings, teen pregnancy, and coming out stories feel like a rite of passage. Fans? Oh, we wear our Degrassi scars like badges of honor, debating plotlines like it's the finals of the World Cup of Angst.
