<p>From first heartbreaks to identity struggles and social pressure, the best teen shows resonate because they speak to the universal complexities of high school life.</p>



<h2>Smallville (2001-2011)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1vyZED_d50e1ca4.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70797" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170601/AA1vyZED.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170601/AA1vyZED-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>First and foremost, it offered a fresh take on the superhero genre by exploring the formative years of Clark Kent before he became Superman. This approach provided viewers with a coming-of-age story, blending elements of teenage drama with the challenges and responsibilities that come with developing superpowers.</p>



<p>Apart from Tom Welling’s great portrayal of Clark Kent, as a DC series on its own, it was a treat for fans of superheroes and the comics, with the introduction of many iconic characters but in an innovative way to fit the overall tone of the series.</p>



<h2>The O.C. (2003-2007)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1B6YqG_7d985740.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70798" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170832/AA1B6YqG.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170832/AA1B6YqG-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>This might be an exaggeration, but ‘The O.C.’ doesn’t get enough credit, despite its popularity and beloved status. Created by Josh Schwartz, the show follows the life of Ryan Atwood (Ben Mckenzie), a kid from Chino abandoned by his mom, who ends up living in the affluent neighborhood that gives the show its name.</p>



<p>Even by today’s standards, the show remains revolutionary and influential in several ways. Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) made nerds look cool, Summer’s (Rachel Bilson) character defied expectations of the typical ‘pretty mean girl,’ and Marissa’s (Mischa Barton) portrayal dealt realistically (and tragically) with depression.</p>



<h2>The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022-present)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1kBlev_a06bc749.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70799" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170937/AA1kBlev.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26170937/AA1kBlev-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Few new series manage to evoke such a nostalgic yet current vibe as ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty.’ The fact that the show is based on Jenny Han’s trilogy of novels from the early 2000s explains why it resonates with both now-adult millennials and Gen Zers. It also helps that the soundtrack is practically Taylor Swift’s entire discography.</p>



<p>The series follows Belly (Lola Tung), a teenage girl who visits the fictional coastal town of Cousins Beach every summer, spending the season with her mom’s best friend’s family. Naturally, she has a crush on the older son, Conrad (Chris Briney), but his brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) also makes his moves to win her heart. It’s just pure teen romance bliss.</p>



<h2>Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1kBw93_2ff9dbac.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70800" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171035/AA1kBw93.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171035/AA1kBw93-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>One of the most popular shows of its time, it gathered around 20 million viewers a week, this series also paved the way for other series such as “The O.C.” or “Gossip Girl.” It was created by Darren Star, and it followed two brothers from Minneapolis who have to adapt to their new lives in California.</p>



<p>Of course, the story also explores many obstacles of growing up, and it was deemed scandalous at the moment. The original series, starring Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry, Jason Priestley, and others, played a pivotal role in sparking a franchise.</p>



<h2>Euphoria (2019-present)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1kBw9b_19146efd.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70801" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171137/AA1kBw9b.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171137/AA1kBw9b-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Arguably the grittiest, saddest, and most heartbreaking portrayal of adolescence on this list, ‘Euphoria’ became a phenomenon with just its first season, thanks to its stylish cinematography and a talented cast led by Zendaya, a two-time Emmy winner for her role in the series.</p>



<p>While the show has faced criticism for its ethics, lack of character development, and coherence, Sam Levinson’s series captures the intensity of teenage life with all its tragedy and absurdity.</p>



<h2>Gossip Girl (2007-2012)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1kBpM2_7a34675f.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70802" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171229/AA1kBpM2.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171229/AA1kBpM2-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Josh Schwartz’s second teen TV show adopted elements from the formula of his first show, “The O.C.,” featuring rich kids, complicated family dynamics, and an outcast, but this time set on the East Coast. However, some would argue that “Gossip Girl” is more significant, more extravagant, and even more fabulous than its predecessor.</p>



<p>Nevertheless, it was also more problematic in various ways, particularly in glamorizing toxic relationships. Despite initial criticisms and negative reviews, the show made a lasting impact on a generation, influencing fashion trends and delivering some iconic dialogue.</p>



<h2>Sex Education (2019-2023)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1kBtSg_0e3cc02c.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70806" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171657/AA1kBtSg.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171657/AA1kBtSg-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Relationships and intimacy have always been a crucial part of almost every teenage show. However, few (or none, to be honest) tackle the theme with the sensitivity, honesty, openness, and instructive spirit of this British series that quickly became one of the best and funniest teen series ever with only four seasons.</p>



<p>The show follows Otis (portrayed by Asa Butterfield), the son of therapist Jean (Gillian Anderson), who takes all her mom’s knowledge to the school with his own clinic.</p>



<h2>Gilmore Girls (2000-2007)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250628_SPEN_70796_AA1zekQR_c63e5be9.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70803" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171443/AA1zekQR.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/26171443/AA1zekQR-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>While “Gilmore Girls” is predominantly a family drama, Rory’s teenage life takes center stage in the show, and some of the most talked-about discussions about this iconic series revolve around her plotlines and occasional poor decision-making, much like any other teen.</p>



<p>Beyond Rory, we witness other characters growing up and finding themselves in different environments than the protagonist, but with a common thread that unifies them all: the relationship with their family. Whether they faced abandonment (Paris and Jess) or rejection (Kim), these kids had to learn to forge their own identities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What made sitcoms so revolutionary was not just their humor. It was their willingness to take risks. Writers and producers began weaving real-world issues into comedic narratives, blending entertainment with sincerity in ways rarely seen before. </p>



<p>These shows introduced characters who were deeply human and often flawed, moving away from perfect families and idealized settings. The influence of these sitcoms continues to shape the voice and structure of modern television comedy.</p>



<h2>Webster</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250624_SPEN_70660_AA1zHnRQ_e93a1cad.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70661" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/23131557/AA1zHnRQ.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/23131557/AA1zHnRQ-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>

<p>Police Squad! would top this list if it hadn’t been canceled after just six episodes. The show was incredibly ahead of its time, ditching the usual serious detective trope for slapstick humor and pure absurdity. Each episode is a classic, and it ultimately paved the way for the Naked Gun film series</p>



<h2>Family Ties</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250624_SPEN_70660_AA1dnitT_696ca987.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70662" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/23133433/AA1dnitT.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/23133433/AA1dnitT-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Michael J Fox became a household name playing Alex Keaton, the conservative son of two liberal ex-hippies Steven and Elyse Keaton. It was an amazing dynamic to the American wholesome family.</p>

<p>A wholesome American family gets a visitor… from another galaxy. Alf is a quick tongue alien that was kept secret by the family who took him in. The show was popular with its fans, but not the network or the cast, who hated working on a TV show where a puppet got the best lines. The show ends in a sad cliffhanger where Alf is caught by the military, the idea was to change direction for season five, but the show was canceled. Sad ending to a popular show.</p>

<p>The original series finale of “Dexter,” “Remember the Monsters?”, delivers a disappointing and baffling conclusion to the character’s arc, with Dexter’s actions, like killing his sister Debra and faking his own death, poorly explained. The finale marked a low point for the show, leaving fans perplexed and ultimately overshadowed by the more satisfying conclusion offered in “Dexter: New Blood.”</p>

<p>This chapter stands as one of the series’ worst, with its racially offensive content leading to an apology from NBC after airing. Beyond the controversy, the episode is also dull and unfunny, failing to resonate with the show’s dedicated fanbase in its final season.</p>



<h2>Lisa Goes Gaga – The Simpsons</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250603_SPEN_70157_Simpsons-1024x576_223ef836.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-70160" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172206/Simpsons.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: Simpsons Wiki – Fandom</figcaption></figure>



<p>This late-era episode saw Lisa rescued from depression by Lady Gaga in what felt more like a PR stunt than a meaningful story. Straying far from Lisa’s core character and lacking the wit of classic guest appearances, it highlighted the show’s decline in emotional depth and satire.</p>



<h2>Lifeboats – Succession</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250603_SPEN_70157_Succesion-1024x576_16a77ba4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-70161" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172353/Succesion.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Early in the series, this episode sees Kendall and Roman scrambling to steady the company, but the emotional stakes still feel distant. With the Roy family dynamics not yet fully developed, the slow pacing made it one of the show’s least engaging hours.</p>

<p>This bloated episode trades the show’s signature suspense for a clumsy satire about television, featuring a misused Shakespeare and an early Burt Reynolds appearance. Its hour-long runtime only magnifies the flaws, making it a forgettable misstep in a once-brilliant series.</p>



<h2>Access – The West Wing</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250603_SPEN_70157_West-1024x576_4e0c14bd.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-70163" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/06/03172719/West.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>“The West Wing” takes an awkward turn with its documentary-style episode, focusing on C.J. Cregg during an FBI/terrorist shootout, a format that clashes with the show’s usual political drama. This genre shift distanced the audience from the habitual intensity of the title.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At this point in its history, everything <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a> releases becomes an instant hit, regardless of the genre. However, it is a fact that its productions based on true stories tend to attract the most viewership, and now the streamer is aiming to impact viewers once again <strong>with a Brazilian </strong><a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/drama">drama</a><strong> series of four episodes titled </strong>“<strong>Children of the Church Steps”.</strong></p>



<p><strong>The title revolves around Douglas, Sete, Jesus, and Pipoca, four young Brazilians living on the sidewalks of downtown Rio. </strong>They have dreams and hopes filled with strength despite living and sleeping on the streets. It aims to showcase a side of the country that is not always seen, as, according to its production director Luis Lomenha for O Globo, <em>“the region is underrepresented in the audiovisual sector.”</em></p>



<p>In this same conversation, creators Márcia Faria and Luis Lomenha discussed the inspiration for the series, <strong>which is rooted in a well-known tragedy that occurred in 1993</strong>. Here, learn about the true story behind “Children of the Church Steps”.</p>



<h2>Delving into the true story behind Netflix’s ‘Children of the Church Steps’</h2>



<p>As revealed by its creators and Netflix, “Children of the Church Steps” is based on the Candelária massacre, <strong>a mass killing that took place in Rio de Janeiro at the start of the 1990s.</strong> During the night of July 23, eight homeless people, including six minors, were killed beside the Candelária Church. Most of the assailants were members of the police and faced trial, <strong>but only two were convicted.</strong></p>

</div></figure>



<p><strong>The religious building became well-known for aiding street children</strong>, not only providing them with a place to sleep at night but also offering food, shelter, education, and religious guidance. However, there was a dark side to this situation: <strong>the minors began to get involved in crimes </strong>such as illegal drug trade, pickpocketing, and robbery.</p>



<p>The specifics of the massacre, according to survivors, began on the morning of July 22, <strong>when a group of children threw stones at police cars.</strong> As the policemen never apprehended them beyond giving a warning, the children were far from thinking that a deadly threat would follow. </p>



<p>At midnight, several Chevrolet Chevette cars with covered license plates stopped at the church <strong>and began shooting at approximately seventy street children sleeping outside.</strong> The situation shocked the world, with many political leaders and influential figures calling for the prosecution of those responsible.</p>



<p>Directors Márcia Faria and Luis Lomenha explained that “Children of the Church Steps” <strong>tells the story of the 36 hours leading up to the massacre</strong> through the lives of the young characters at the center of the series. For this, <strong>they sought help and testimonies from survivors,</strong> who emphasized in every conversation how much they dreamed of a better future.</p>



<p>However, they also wanted to highlight that the goal of the production <strong>is to distance itself from the sensationalism that productions based on true stories often exhibit</strong>. Lomenha stated that their creation <em>“is not a series about need. And it’s not about the massacre, it’s about the power of childhood,”</em> while Faria added, <em>“The scripts don’t exactly focus on violence. It’s there </em>(underlying)<em> because it was a brutal tragedy. But the fact that it’s from the children’s point of view, 36 hours before the massacre,<strong> and that we follow their lives, their dreams, and their desires humanizes it.”</strong></em></p>
