It's the 1990s in Boring, Ore., and groups of outcasts in Boring High School's AV and drama clubs are trying to brave the ups and downs of teenage life in a simpler world without smartphones and other 21st century technology. The two crews of nerdy students are frustrated that no one is taking them seriously so they decide the best way to make it through high school is to join forces and make a movie -- that'll help them get noticed. And there's also the usual teenage romance issues to deal with. Luke, the de facto ringleader of the AV club, falls for Kate, the principal's daughter, but she doesn't necessarily reciprocate the romantic feelings Luke has for her and is dealing with her own issues.

I really appreciated the relationships Kate and Luke had with their single parents, too. That was really well done and so tender. Go to Full Review

I always appreciate a good ragamuffin group growing together but I think the last half of the season stalled out a little bit by spending time bonding the other characters. Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/30/2018
Yes, this is another sentimental coming-of-age comedy-drama but it's one that does become quite involving and affecting, thanks in large part to an achingly vulnerable performance by Canadian youngster Peyton Kennedy. Go to Full Review
Alberto Carlos Espinof 07/27/2019
It has some good ideas, but it is diluted in a package that does not do the show justice. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 10 A true Netflix gem that was cancelled, truthfully, for no good reason. Ben York Jones continues finding amazing new talent (Sydney Sweeney among others) with refreshing new styles that are incredibly endearing to viewers. Putting on your growing pains, adolescence scope, you'll find yourself entertained and endeared to the wonderfully new yet relatable topics. See more Chelsea R Apr 29 it was so good. definitely recomend it. actually thought it was a show filmed in the 80s See more Leandro T 01/13/2025 a faking mazingggggggggg! I read some bullshit online that said it was canceled cuz it sucked. WWWWTTTTTFFFFF!!!!!!!?????? where's season 2,godammit!!!!!??"???? See more Millsy 07/22/2024 I watched this over two nights. This is one of those shows that take a couple of episodes to really get to know and to like the characters. So many of the characters were in situations that i could empathise with when i was in school, whether due to direct experiences I had, or that I knew my friends or people i knew went through. All the characters were likeable and were so reflective of real people in that people are flawed, we make mistakes and we have reactions that were emotion driven that in reflection we regret and this was reflected in the characters in this show. I Really enjoyed this show and was So disappointed when i came to the end of episode 10. We saw how happy Kate was after kissing Emaline and starting a relationship with her. I really wanted to see their relationship bloom. It's such a shame it really wasn't given a chance and Netflix should reflect that a great number of potential loyal fans won't even have had the knowledge of the show being available on day one or in my case not till years later, it doesn't mean we won't fall in love with the show if it was only given a proper chance. Word of mouth at the very least takes time. I realise that years have past and so will have the original cast but please make another season thats very similar and give it another chance. See more Movie G 04/13/2024 The show starts of slow, but sureley blossoms out to become a masterpiece. I grew up in a smaller town as kind of a not super popular kid, and if thats the type of show that you're looking for, this is it, the music to the characters to the environment fitted perfectly with that vibe. This show is a hidden gem! See more Luke R @LuckyM0vi3Buff 09/30/2023 Seen this, and it was a meh show. I was told to watch this, and it sucked. See more Read all reviews
