For the twenty-somethings, high school might feel like both yesterday and an eternity ago, but this show still is relevant to those who have graduated. This show’s 16-year-old main character Ginny (Antonia Gentry) navigates plenty of grown-up problems, including a complicated mother-daughter relationship, severe mental health struggles, and a major identity crisis, all while growing up in a predominately white town as a biracial girl.
