I enjoyed the series immensely. There are some puff pieces, for sure, a bit camp too, but it really does show personal growth, good or bad. There is also a great depiction of knowing two sides to the story.
I also believe it shows how even people who believe their good can easily be bad, IE the entire Russo family. Holding onto grudges, that some people never change and are dark forever. There is a lot of underlying psychology in these characters.
It shows the inner conflict of a teenager, the rage created by bullying, the shortsightedness of that rage and so on. It shows the change from being popular and not having a strong center. That being said, Sam's character absolutely drives me nuts. She is am amazing example of how someone makes choices, choices they know are bad, but do it anyway. I especially love how she plays the victim through the entire series as if her actions didn't cause a thing. You can choose to do anything you wish, but you do not get to choose the repercussions of those choices. There is a lot of personalities displayed in the cast that give insight to how it is for a teenager today.
My typing is atrocious. I apologize.
