Storyline

Originally based around the lives of a group of high school students living in the wealthy Beverly Hills neighborhood, then later moving on to their college days as they got older. The kids become friends and enemies, fall in and out of love, and go through an endless series of crises as this small group somehow becomes personally involved in every newsworthy social issue from alcoholism to South African apartheid to pregnancy to AIDS.

User Reviews

90210: A show that has lost it's kick.

This show has lost it's footing. Once about a group of high-schoolers surviving in the world, the show quickly slithered through the college year and is now in the after years. In it's final season, the show has the very bitchy Gina (Vanessa Marcil), which is the reason I still watch this show. Every once and a while this show has a good event or shocker, but I prefer the 90210 spin off, MELROSE PLACE. If you liked DALLAS, 90210 is the show for you. If your more of a DYNASTY fan, you would like MELROSE more.
