We have a completely spoiler-free review of Degrassi: Next Class Season 2!
Dont worry, well talk about that in a bit.
Theres a danger in taking on such a hot button issue.
Let us never forget how Hazel pretty much did nothing her entire run on the show.
Thankfully,Degrassisucceeds in its look at Black Lives Matter.
This girl is front and center and kills it.
His portrayal of Hunter struggling with a serious mental health issue is seen in every moment with Yael.
He wants his friend back so badly but he doesnt know how to control himself properly.
Its heartbreaking to watch in that juicyDegrassidrama kind of way.
And hey, shout out to Jamie Bloch who plays Yael.
Good job,Degrassiwriters.
Now just confirm on screen the character is Jewish and well be talking.
This actress is a comedic force of nature.
I hope Amanda Arcuri has a long career in comedy afterDegrassibecause boy, she dominates.
Come on, Degrassi.
Youre better than that.
Do the writers honestly not know the word?
Can they not say it on Canadian TV?
This has been a problem not just withDegrassibut many other mainstream dramas, includingOrange is the New Black.
With the decreased episode count since the move to Netflix, just managing this is a major victory.
And finally, the reunion.
Honestly, every site reporting this is blowing it way out of proportion.
It isnt the reunion of your dreams.
Most of them are at best extended cameos.
Weirdly, the one who gets the most focus is Peter who makes multiple appearances throughout the season.
Youll be let down.
I understandDegrassi: TNGis the longest entry in the franchise, but wheres the love for the original series?
Can we find out if LD ever finally died from cancer?
Seriously, how is Lucy not a major recurring character in this franchise?
The various plots arent tied together enough.
In season one, everything came together in the final episode with the dance.
All the built up tension was paid off brilliantly.
Here, the individual plots stand well enough on their own, but they dont culminate to anything major.
Despite this,Degrassi: Next Classseason two is still a strong entry in the franchise.
And oh yeah, they do mention the Spinner/Emma marriage.
Are they still together?
Did they finally right this perplexing decision?
Youll have to watch to find out.
Degrassi: Next ClassSeason 2 premieres Friday, July 22nd on Netflix.
Need to catch up on season one?
No problem, Snake can help with that.
