In the unlikely event that 'Gossip Girl' is not your teen drama of choice, then you may want to investigate this slightly less controversial option when it premieres on E4 on Monday:
'90210' made a strong debut in the USA last autumn (sorry, "fall"). It's shed a few million viewers since then but is still one of the country's favourite shows and we'll have to see how it fares over here on Monday. Here's a quick synopsis of the first episode, courtesy of a crazy fan on Wikipedia:
"Harry, new principal of West Beverly Hills High School, returns from Kansas to his childhood home of Beverly Hills with his wife Debbie, their daughter Annie and adopted son Dixon, to care for Harry's mother, former television star Tabitha Wilson. On their first day at school, Annie and Dixon encounter Ethan, the star lacrosse player she met a few summers ago; Naomi, the spoiled rich girl whose sole focus is her Sweet Sixteen party; Silver, the free-spirited girl who later gossips about Annie on her blog; Adrianna, a closeted drug addict, and Navid, editor of Blaze News. When Naomi fails to complete an assignment, English teacher Ryan Matthews and guidance counselor Kelly Taylor, bring the problem to Harry, who quickly realizes that keeping secrets about his past is going to be impossible."
Seems pretty complicated but your fairly tick-the-boxes supply of characters etc. The Teen Drama Perfection Scale is measured by comparision with 'The O.C.', the show that was Teen Drama Perfection (for most of the time anyway). Only 'Gossip Girl' has matched it so far, so let's see how '90210' fares.
