I just finished binge-watching the fourth and final season of this British show on Netflix. I’m not sure I like some of the choices made for some of the characters in this season. This is the most unpredictable, over-the-top, funny, with interesting lead characters and original script and ideas from this British production. I loved some of the back stories of the leading and supporting characters. You really got a chance to know why these people are the way they are after knowing about their backgrounds.
I did find it hard to believe that these high school kids were as progressive in this rural country town. They deal with topics like; trans kids, disability, homophobia, sexism, racism. One black character Eric always wore make up to school and was totally outrageous. That said I found his character to be delicious if over-the-top. Gillian Anderson from the X-files and The Crown is excellent in it, giving an award winning performance as usual. I give this show four stars because it stands alone and is unlike anything out there that I’m aware of.
