Diverse Voices on 2010s Teen Dramas

Critical media analysis that's actually funny. We unpack representation, call out problematic tropes, and make media literacy entertaining.

Smart Analysis, Actually Funny

We don't just recap—we analyze. Why did Glee's diversity storylines work or fail? What made Gossip Girl's class commentary so problematic? Critical thinking that doesn't put you to sleep.

Creators from different backgrounds break down the same shows. See how race, gender, sexuality, and class shape what we notice in these stories.
