10 Best Teen Drama Series

There is nothing like living with imaginary teens and their extremely over-the-top lives vicariously because it can be so much more fun than coping with your own issues. Your friendship, your work, your fam, your BFFF, if you want to distract yourself from your very-many-existent adult things.

The Society

At first, coming home to no adults in sight could sound fun, but TBH, in this show, it'll spook you TF out. Because of a hurricane, a group of adolescents cut their vacation short, and when they get back to their hometown, they're absolutely bare. Although making sure that they survive, they have to work together to find out what happened.

Sex Education

Sex Education deals mainly with difficult thoughts that surround sexual attraction. The mother and son couple, one a professional sex and relationship specialist (Jean Milburn of Gillian Anderson) and the other a talented savant (Otis Milburn of Asa Butterfield) are helping to parse out certain thoughts, who can mentor his peers through their issues even though he has bedroom problems himself. There is something relatable, hilarious, and melancholy about each character peering into the intimate lives of the ensemble cast of high schoolers, without ever turning them into a flattened shape.

Elite

When it first fell on Netflix in 2018, this teen drama based on an affluent private high school from Spain was a surprise success, and it's easy to see why: a juicy murder mystery that lasts through the whole season, obscene displays of money, and lots and lots of nudity. In addition to being a soapy whodunnit, the running undercurrents that really hold this show alive are Elite's problems-based side stories, grappling with issues such as class disparity, xenophobia, and the stigma of HIV.

On My Block

These kids have more to contend with as childhood friends Jasmine, Monse, Ruby, and Jamal reach high school in South Central Los Angeles than just the usual teenage drama. This poignant series about growing up in an underprivileged neighborhood is funny, endearing, and realistic, exploring the relationships and ups-and-downs of the freshmen year of the party while holding their peers safe from hurt and from participating in gang violence.

Marvel’s Runaway

Six teens from diverse backgrounds align against a mutual adversary, their delinquent kin, who runs an organisation called Pride together. The teens are now on the run from their parents in the second season, surviving on their own and finding out how to stop Pride.

Euphoria

Teenage years are the hardest times in life, arguably. And following Rue, a 17-year-old heroin addict fresh out of rehab, and the people in her life who still battle addictions and insecurities close to hers, Euphoria takes a deep dive into the subject.

Skam France

Skam France leads five French girls to high school as they go. Skam follows the lives of Emma, Manon, Daphné, Alexia, and Imane: five high school girls who while attempting to sort out life in the real world with the aid of peers, learn about friendship, marriage, death, and many other things along the way.

Glee

Glee showed the children of McKinley High and beyond how to cope with marriages, death, family troubles, and big dreams amid the over-the-top musical numbers and Sue Sylvester one-liners.

Pretty Little Liars

The series follows the lives of four teenagers, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Spencer Hastings, set in the fictitious town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, whose clique falls apart after their chief, Alison DiLaurentis, disappears. ... The famous "Queen Bee" of high school students was Alison.

Teen Wolf

If you've never watched this eye-candy-packed film, let me give you a brief explanation: one night, when out in the park, a high school boy gets attacked by a werewolf and doesn't know if he's a human or a werewolf or both. This latest transformation obviously gets him (and his best friend) into some drama.
