Forget Gossip Girl, These Are 16 Best Teen TV Dramas of All Time
Teen drama is a difficult genre to get right. The interests of young people change every year, and shows that try to appeal to teenagers usually grab the most hyped concepts during development, only to realize that by the time the show is released, young folks would already be interested in something else entirely.
Only a select few teen dramas have managed to stand the test of time by appealing to universal themes rather than chasing appeal. And while The CW's "Gossip Girl" is often considered the best teen show out there, we strongly disagree!
Here are the 16 best teen dramas of all time:
As you've probably noticed, most of the shows on this list are quite old, and we chose them for a reason - the thing is, the modern TV industry is so obsessed with money and ratings that producers have forgotten all about creativity, using charts and focus groups to increase the financial potential of the show instead of listening to the wishes of the fans.
Back then, there were no such problems, and the shows mentioned above were all created with passion and real interest in the lives of teenagers, which helped them stand the test of time and remain popular even in 2024.
