3.5
It’s well researched and good writing. However, how do you discuss the revolution of teen television and ignore 90210, the first prime time teen drama to garner millions of viewers, the show that became the reference point for most of the shows she discusses in this book. She alludes to 90210 but doesn’t do a deep dive on it. I get the sense it’s because she herself didn’t watch it—perhaps she is just a tad too young to have experienced its run. But it’s a shortcoming that her editors didn’t have her cover it to make the book a more well-rounded version of what it is.
