After watching 13th season.. I am quite shocked at the turn this series took from 1st season until today. One thing I was shocked by watching throughout all seasons is the amount of mental illness Canada has... almost all of the characters have some form of mental illness, some in serious forms (Ricky, Craig, Fiona, etc.) .. some are mild. First symptom of mental illness is the belief that the world revolves around you, which seems to me is a belief every character has. Nonetheless I loved the early seasons since I used to watch them when I was in high school in Canada and they really reminded me of the good old times... but later seasons were just written scripts and acted upon by a bunch of young actors/actresses.
The direction of the events are totally messed up and everything ends in the result that the director thinks is "right" ... instead of brutal and realistic outcomes.. everything is a piece of cake; whereas reality contains tons of brutality in the personal lives of people.. but all of that can't be seen in the later seasons.
The first generation seasons were much better and more serious than the later ones.
By events I mean events such as Rebecca standing against her family when she spent a lifetime being raised a Christian and all the sudden, the director transforms her into a gay person in less than 1 episode.. also standing against her brother in the trial.
Now the trial is something else.. very disgraceful, disappointing, and disturbing outcome in my opinion.. this is when I really started to hate this show and why I put a 3 on the scoreboard.
All the factors lead to Zoe losing the trial case when all the sudden she shows up near the end of the court (which is highly unacceptable in real courts) and with a low voice she managed to decide the outcome of her trial. Not to mention the director placed Rebecca's unthoughtful statement just to convict her brother.. total fail from Degrassi director.
What else can I say about this show other than the fact that its glory days died with the casting of Jimmy, Paige, Elli, and the rest of them.
score /10
