User Reviews

"Everyone wants something, they'll never give up..."

This was the best then drama ever. They took real life issues and portrayed them in a very good way. I haven't watched Degrassi: TNG yet, because I never had cable and waiting for my library to get them. I heard some of the old cast is in it and can not wait to watch all the seasons. I had a crush on Stacie Mistysin. I highly recommend it. I'll "never give up..."

Zit Remedy was the bomb. If you watch any teen drama, this is the best ever.
