If anyone remembers Degrassi, Edgemont is the new Degrassi, only focused on
a smaller cast of characters. The premise is the same: no one set main
character, and a bunch of teens interacting at school and dealing with issues in serious and comedic settings. The show is realistic and reaches out to
teenagers and adolescents -- there are no 'adult' characters on the show
(teachers and parents are not shown). This allows the series to maintain its
unique focus on the kids of A.C. MacKinley high. The show takes place in BC,
Canada, but its concept can be universally translated by any North American
teen. Kristin Kreuk, from Smallville got her start on Edgemont, but there are some other great gems of actors to be found on this show. It is definitely worth taking a look at.
