This was a delightful listen for someone that has always enjoyed pop culture, learning more about the world of TV production, and coming of age media.

A fun and informative behind the scenes look at how some of the most iconic teen television shows came to be. Audiobook reads like a podcast if you’re into that, which I am. It was very interesting even though I’d only seen about half of the shows chronicled, and it inspired me to add others to my watch list.

This was absolutely fascinating! I loved learning about my favorite shows and the cultural significance of shows I didn’t watch as well. The behind the scenes details were juicy and intriguing. I wanted a little more in the tying together of the shows, but overall I really enjoyed this one. Great on audio, too!
