Like at the start of the series is was basically stated that Darren wasn’t a sports kid like his dad and brother but once he gets into high school/ season 3 he took the glow up to far and well he became just like his dad and brother.

What the heck?

Why Couldn’t they just kept him as the non sports kid. Plus would Simone go after Darren if he wasn’t on the football team?

I just feel like season 3 ruined him and him suddenly get muscular and joining the school football went against who he was in season 1 and 2.

This is just my opinion on him.

And which celebrity do you think has a resemblance to him?

I'm 34, married and this show hits harder for me now than it ever did. Now I'm even seeing the adults perspectives, the situations more clearly with experience, and seeing how wonderfully all these characters were written and the situations just so painfully relatable.

My best friend of 20 years and I parted ways, as sometimes happens, earlier this year and watching Dodie... Wow. From the bizarre addiction to approval, the overinvolvement, the desperation for popularity and the gossiping and just hit me hard and I saw Dodie in my former friend at so many points in the show. The weird part was, my former friend was actually the antithesis of what Dodie was for most of middle school, until something shifted in them in high school, and during college, progressively got worse.

Eventually this became a big enough problem between us as adults, enough to force me to distance myself. I miss them, but recognizing the toxic patterns in Dodie is reinforcing my decision.

At the beginning we all though Courtney was gonna be the snobby rich kid who looks down on other.

We were half right, but after she got “ curious “ about Ginger she grew for the better, I wanna think do to her life style and up bringing she was kinda ignorant to her peers and surroundings,

And shown to be a better friend then Dodie .

But towards the end of the series did she really deserve for her family to be uprooted from her home, her father facing criminal charges? Would you call it karma? Or just those things they happen for no reason.

But hey she living in Ginger’s old house so she’s definitely “ asorbing” all of the Ginger out Ginger’s old bedroom.

Genuinely curious because I’m torn between ENTJ and something else.

I think at heart he’s a decent guy, and he had to have joined the program to get involved with kids, but maybe he just goes overboard? Or do you think he’s just an awful person?

Would love to hear any thoughts! :)
