Are there any good high school shows? Are they all just fundamentally dishonest?
Freaks and Geeks is probably the closest to an accurate depiction of high school, and even it isn't that accurate.

Honest shows about high school wouldn't be good, they'd be boring as shit.

>You will never live in the AU where NBC gave Freaks and Geeks multiple seasons, and content that they have a successful show in their belt, Apatow and Feig retire and never work on movies

Realistic and honest shows about high school would be considered "cringy" and boring by audiences. People would say the dialogue and acting is too unnatural even though it's a show about high school teenagers. Sometimes too much realism is a bad thing

This show pisses me off so much
>le real and quirky look at "real high school"
No, real high school is having 0 friends and ignored by everyone. Even when they try to take a "real" look at this shit they sugar coat it and have to force a cute girl in somehow

Unlike your life, shows are meant to be interesting though.

Pretty much this

High school shows aren't going to be hours of the character falling asleep in class, eating lunch, looking at pictures on their phone, and then going back home to jack off. People would just get bored.

lol no anon
i'm a total autist and i had plenty of friends and was on pretty good grounds with everyone in the school, even people on the sports teams that you would assume are dicks but are actually normal people who happen to like throwing sports balls around. it seems like you have the real unrealistic idea of what high school is like for the average person.

If /r9k/ wrote a high school show, it would be so fucking boring and make the cast in 13 Reasons Why look likable by comparison.
Inbetweeners

Anon, if you didn't have even 1 friend in high school, you fucked up tremendously. Even turbo autists who scratch their heads for hours on end at least have a couple fellow autists to talk to during school.

nah, this guy is right, Freaks and Geeks was fucking terrible. I dont know how it got so much praise. Was there even a likable character?
And everyones highschool experience is different. its to hard to relate to show. but its definitely not these le edgy episodic PSA shits they are trying to do

Kim Kelly. Went from cunt to best girl through the season.

are you implying it wasnt?

I hate James Franco with a passion and I genuinely hope something dark and life changing happens to him and he loses all his acting appeal in one swoop.

I like My So-Called Life. The most realistic high school show isn't even a drama, Inbetweeners was high school for me in all essence.
