East Los High

East Los High is like Degrassi meets Mean girls. I was so enthralled in seeing what would happen next that I watched the entire 1st season in two days.

East Los High is nothing like I have ever seen, now a days directors and producers only want to make films or TV shows that focus on first world problems; not being the coolest person in school, or the guy or girl you've been crushing on is not responding to you. East Los High shows problem that are common for this generation with teen pregnancies, death, and drugs.

I was excited to watch a show that has mostly Latino actors and actresses and i figured i'd look past the high school aspect of it cuz anime still manages to make quality shows with young protags. Unfortunately East Los High suffers from everything that is just flat out wrong with soaps.

The show in the beginning had a lot of potential to be the Hispanic version of Gossip Girl. But then it just turned into a PSA about why you should have safe sex.

This show provides a very real look at what it is like to be a young adult in this country. It touches on all of the peer pressure, relationships, family issues, childhood trauma, all while trying to build a future for yourself.
