i couldn’t agree more on the point about Genz making fun of teen shows nowadays. Something that‘s lost these days in teen shows and tv in general is that they lack vulnerability and they approach topics with the most i dont care attitude. Even when they try to be edgy and tackle serious topics like in euphoria i‘m just asking myself where is the sensitivity? where is the time to digest everything and make what happens have an impact on the viewer? I dont think it‘s the viewers fault too i think it‘s the Industries because as you said dawsons creek and beverly hills were always looked at as bad tv and made fun of. Adolescence is always seen as uncomfortable and cringy but the difference is the people who made these shows back then especially williamson wasn‘t afraid to show how teenagers actually felt. It wasn‘t about the facts it was about how it felt in the moment and that‘s what adolescence is all about. joeys monologue in the penultimate episode encapsulates it all perfectly she says she can‘t say that it all happened the way she remembered it but that‘s how it felt. This is what‘s missing in todays shows. The summer i turned pretty does it fairly well i guess but they need more episodes. Genz needs to start being okay with being cringe and liking things that are hyper sensitive and aware of it while not only accepting but embracing it. Thats the whole point of tv
