Jook, you haven’t done Flowers yet. probably should have done it in the comedy thread, but it’s also very dramatic so maybe you can shoehorn it in here.
So many perfect moments, Angela is one of the most real main characters to have existed on screen. All time theme song (tempted by a Go now, go! tattoo), a great TV dad, very genuine friendships, Archers of bloody Loaf on the soundtrack (!!), sates my soft-focus 90s addiction like nothing else, and it manages to easily cope with a truly awful Christmas ep and Jordan being a black-hole of a character for 80% of his time on screen (but that scene with Ricky <3 ). Made me feel more like I was truly a teenage girl deep inside than anything else has before or since. Me and my ATD quote “we had a time, didn’t we have a time?” more than anything else, whenever anything slightly fun/novel/unusual happens, and it makes me grin every time, without fail.
Watched it at least 5 times and going to have to go through it again ASAP now. MSCL >>> Freaks and Geeks, and it’s not even close (it’s pretty close)
Yeah it snuck into my top 20 shows since the first 4 or 5 seasons would be top 5 all time for me, but then it finished appallingly. Hard to know how to judge that, since it’s not really a show you can just stop after 4 seasons and pretend it’s finished. You’ll always know …
