Home and Away (1988)
It's had it's day. Time for something new.
This show has been around for years. It's been a success and now it's getting kinda boring. The acting isn't terrible but it isn't the best in the world. Most of the acting is good but some is just annoying and can make me cringe. The story lines used to be good, really good now it's just unrealistic, repetitive and just boring. Sure every season finale is packed with (unrealistic) drama which is worth a watch but most of the other story lines through the rest of the entire season is just annoying. It doesn't try and break the boundaries like it used to and it looks like the writers are trying too hard to be risky but end up failing. They have had only 1 storyline which I actually enjoyed back in 2012 (I think) where Rosie got raped. That felt realistic and was actually enjoyable. It wasn't filled with murders, gangs, annoying people complaining about minuscule problems or boring comical relief. Ever since then it has only had boring gangs, murder, violence, annoying love triangles and drug deals which were entertaining at first but it's filled with it now and it gets boring. I want to see story lines that teens face. They have teenage characters but only give them boring annoying primary school issues. By primary school I mean story lines that teens would just shrug off and kids in primary school would make a big deal out of. I want to see story lines such as Anorexia, homosexuality, peer pressure, child abuse, suicide, bullying/cyber bullying, self harm or teen pregnancies. I want to see that come into the show than maybe if give it another go.

Got a bad wrap for a good show.
This show got a bad wrap. Sure it wasn't the best show ever but it addictive and entertaining. I loved how every episode would end in a cliffhanger so it would make you want to watch more. Sure the acting wasn't perfect and some story lines were a little boring. Yes most story lines were unrealistic and wouldn't happen to most people. But this was a good entertaining good teen drama show. Even though it didn't give you everything you needed to know about what happened to the characters from the 90's one but it wasn't designed too. It was supposed to be about a new generation for a new generation of viewers. Just like it had story lines for a new generation. Overall it was a great show with great story lines!
