This show provides a very real look at what it is like to be a young adult in this country. It touches on all of the peer pressure, relationships, family issues, childhood trauma, all while trying to build a future for yourself. After a couple of episodes you become involved in the story line and the characters. My wife was openly yelling at the TV during an episode when she didn't agree with something a character did. The actors did a great job playing the part and really making the viewer feel like they were viewing everything in first person. Love the show!
