Ah, the teenage years. Who can resist the tug of nostalgia for the days when wild hormonal fluctuations ruled every decision, when laughable and superficial beliefs could define personhood, and when it felt like no one understood you despite how much you tried desperately to fit in and not say the wrong thing, for fear of mass reprisal that could end life as you knew it?
Yes, those were heady times. Fortunately, Netflix has made it easy for you to reminisce about the halcyon days of yore without making you ever leave your couch. These are the best TV shows about teens currently streaming on Netflix, a mix of broadcast classics like Gilmore Girls to Netflix originals like the Gilmore Girls -on-steroids Ginny & Georgia .
Capitalizing on the recent hallyu wave and influx of Korean zombie-horror, All of Us Are Dead is set during an apocalyptic high school zombie attack and features a sprawling ensemble cast, teenage drama, and escape room-like plot as surviving students must evade an outbreak that has swept through their school. It's a show for those who need a bit more horror and action pumped into their teen TV, as it's full of tense action in confined spaces, mysterious outbreak, abundant death, occasionally sus CGI, and One Special Kid who might just have the cure to end it all. While there might be a lot of zombie TV, All of Us Are Dead stands on its own emotional legs.
American Vandal , about teen documentarians who investigate the conspirators behind the high school pranks of a dick-drawing vandal and somebody nicknamed "the turd burglar," is much more than two seasons of dick/poop jokes. After the first couple episodes of each season, the more immature material falls to the background, allowing the show to satirize high school, race and class, and today's criminal justice system in a surprisingly meaningful way. To pull it off, the co-creators studied the techniques that made them so invested in such true-crime titans as Serial , Making a Murderer , and The Jinx . It's parody, homage, addictive teen drama all wrapped in one—an underrated win for the streaming service that's sadly been officially canceled going forward.
This Anne of Green Gables adaptation has one of the most ferocious fanbases on all of stan Twitter. If you've ever stumbled across it in your feed, it may be somewhat surprising, but the canceled-too-soon Netflix original from Moira Walley-Beckett ( Breaking Bad ) is worth all of the hype. Not only is it an impeccably shot 19th century period piece about author L. M. Montgomery's beloved orphan Anne growing up on Prince Edward Island, few teen series are so poised in the way they address contemporary issues, let alone adapting them thoughtfully for the past. 
Robia Rashid's ambitious family dramedy centers on an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum named Sam ( It Follows ' Keir Gilchrist) who's seeking a girlfriend and independence. The writers carefully employ therapy sessions and asides to shed light on autism, moves that are always more enjoyable than didactic. The humor sprinkled throughout rarely comes at the expense of its protagonist (N.B. great fun facts about penguins and Antarctica). And the show touts a message of inclusion and compassion, no matter the circumstances, to which all viewers can relate. It's an emotional ride, one that might get off to a clunky start, but one that's ultimately worth the investment, especially considering the bite-size runtimes and the heft that sucker-punches you at the end.
Katara, the last waterbender of her tribe, and her brother Sokka discover a young boy named Aang buried in suspended animation in an iceberg. They learn that he is the Avatar, a reincarnated being who can control all elements, instead of just mastering one, and whose job it is to keep harmonic balance in the Four Nations. With the help of a few friends, the three set out on a journey across the world so that Aang can master all four elements and defeat the villainous and power-hungry Fire Lord. 
In Big Mouth , comedian Nick Kroll and friends (including John Mulaney and Jessi Klein, among others) essentially hop into an animated time machine to play young, more insecure, and hornier versions of themselves as adolescent tweens beginning to date and watch porn, coming to grips with their emotions and sexuality. With a no-holds-barred approach to the horrors of puberty and the freeing format of animation, the show tends to really go there (see: Hormone Monsters voiced by Kroll and Maya Rudolph, singing Michael Stipe tampons, scary sex fantasies), forcing you to relieve the unbearable awkwardness of those middle school years.
A YA trope that you've likely seen before drives this eight-episode limited series : the classic supernatural one in which the protagonist dies unexpectedly and is stuck in some sort of in-between. On Boo, Bitch , the dearly departed Erika (Lana Condor of the To All the Boys… movies) becomes a ghost after she and her BFF Gia (Zoe Colletti) get in a car crash on their way home from their first-ever high school party. Being that her unfinished business is checking off a handful of teenage milestones that make her more popular than she ever was when she was alive, the series pulls from a whole slate of teen entertainment tropes, from mean girls to fantasy. Once you get past the cheesiness, it's a quick, delightful binge that'll lovingly haunt any fan of teen TV.
Live-action adaptations of manga series or anime can be a long shot—and this K-drama is far from the first series adapted from Yoko Kamio's wildly popular shōjo manga of the same name—but it'll steal your heart. Set in an elite private school, a clique of boys who call themselves F4 reign over the hallways, until an unassuming, low-income student on a scholarship tries to stop their bullying… and eventually becomes entangled in a love triangle with them. Above all, it's an indulgent, over-the-top fairy tale set in contemporary South Korea, but that's what makes Boys Over Flowers so great. Sure, you've seen many love triangles play out on screen before, but you won't really know how much emotional turmoil they can put you through until you experience the throes that is Jan-Di and her F4 boys.
Sabrina Spellman is a typical teenage girl, aside from the fact that she’s a half-witch and lives in a supernatural household with her two witchy aunts and her warlock cousin. The heroine, played by Mad Men ’s dynamic Kiernan Shipka, must find her footing in both the human world and her new world of witchcraft: once she turns 16, she must choose whether or not to sign her name in the Book of the Beast and over to the Dark Lord, who, unbeknownst to her, sees the increasingly powerful young witch as the perfect vessel for his most evil bidding. The series takes characters and inspiration from the Archie comics universe and even has Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa at its helm, infusing it with the perfect amount of grotesque horror and sassy-sweet attitude, making it a must-watch teen drama.
Just about everyone is familiar with the story of King Arthur and how he had to pull that damn sword out of that pesky stone. Cursed is another take on that classic tale, but rather than from the perspective of Arthur and his trusty wizard Merlin, it imagines the origin story of a woman who only comes into play in the legend later on. The series follows Nimue (Katherine Langford of 13 Reasons Why ), a sorceress, who'll go on to become the Lady of the Lake, but for now is in pursuit of the sword of Excalibur herself and meets a young Arthur along the way. Created by the same names behind the comic source material, Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller ( Sin City , 300 ), the genre show has serious sorcery in its production that'll send you on your own quest of clicking play on episode after episode.
Dare Me , a 10-part teen series that aired on USA, is about high school cheerleaders who become entangled in a series of dark secrets after a new coach, who used to be a hot-shot cheer star, comes in to take over their squad. On paper it might sound a little PG, but don't let this simple plot fool you: Dare Me is bonafide bonkers. This is no Bring It On -style "Big Red stole the Clovers' routine" type of scandal; there's sadistic bullying, infidelity, obsession, and even murder ! Sometimes the show veers a little too far into dramatic territory, but it's because it's that kind of soapy teen show that's so outrageous that it's worth bingeing. Trust us: You'll be rooting for this one.
No show is as merry and bright as the holiday teen rom-com Dash & Lily —and it's seriously lovely for it. Based on David Levithan and Rachel Cohn's book Dash & Lily's Book of Dares , the series follows the burgeoning romance between two NYC-based teens (Austin Abrams and Midori Francis), who've never met but serendipitously trade a notebook back and forth, sending each other on dares around the city during Christmastime. The holiday setting is only half the magic of this one, which is really a whimsical story of two young people learning to come into their own. It has the power to lighten up even the grumpiest of Scrooges.
Justin Simien's scorching send-up of post-racial America transitioned smoothly from its film form to a series, with Logan Browning stepping in for Tessa Thompson. As in the movie, the streaming version follows a diverse group of students pushing back against discrimination at a mostly white Ivy League school. Contrary to what the trolls want you to believe, Simien's work is not white-genocide propaganda; it's an illuminating look at what equality means in the 21st century.
The most recent installment of the long-running Degrassi franchise documents the crazy lives of the students at Degrassi Community School. Just as dramatic as the Canadian series' earlier installments, though updated to include more contemporary social issues, Next Class explores how young people deal with mental illness, identity, and the challenges of the digital age. Where some young adult series romanticize its core issues, Next Class refuses to do so and is a more raw representation of teen-dom because of it.
Teen shows are often good for some laughs, but few are as goddamn hysterical as Derry Girls . The Channel 4/Netflix co-production about Catholic schoolgirls in the '90s living through the end of the Northern Ireland Troubles is all about their own, unfiltered teenaged troubles, and outright laugh-out-loud hilarious. The entire cast and their quirks are near perfect; after a quick binge, you'll find there's no other fictional crew you'd rather kick back with.
This teen drama centered on a wealthy private high school from Spain is one of Netflix's most addicting, watchable international offerings. It's easy to see why it's spawned some serious obsessions among fans: a juicy murder mystery runs throughout the series, there's obscene displays of wealth that calls back the original Gossip Girl , and lots and lots of sex. On top of being a soapy whodunnit, Elite 's issues-based side plots, dealing with topics like class inequality, xenophobia, and the stigma of HIV, are the running undercurrents that truly keep this show afloat. Even with subtitles, you'll have binged through this series before you know it.
Somehow, a show about a teenager who's convinced he's a psychopath and wants to find his first human kill manages to come off as a charming love and coming-of-age story. The tone demands a lot of the audience: Can you empathize with the human struggle of a kid who wants to kill, kill, kill (and who actually, in flashbacks, does kill animals, including a very cute cat)? It's a compelling premise that tackles the question with necessary nuance .
Set in the '90s, this underrated show tells the coming-of-age stories of an Oregon high school's A/V and drama club members, embellishing the proceedings with plenty of pop-culture references and slang from the era. The show is like if Freaks and Geeks was actually set in the '90s and a lot cheesier, although has just as much heart as the cult classic it's been compared to. There's an apt amount of nerds-versus-theater-kid rivalry as the series follows one student's attempt to shoot his first film, but at its core is a group of angsty, multifaceted adolescents dealing with trying to fit in, stand out, and come to terms with their sexuality. It's a short, binge-worthy single season in which you should expect in-your-face nostalgia and a whole lot of youthful positivity even in a show whose namesake suggests it revels in a cynical teenage attitude.
While The CW's Arrow teeters on the edge of self-parodying grimdark nonsense most of the time, the show's DC Comics companion, The Flash , is a lighting-speed breeze. Glee alum Grant Gustin stars as the breaker of sound barriers, who finds himself battling everyone from freeze-gun-wielding mad men to sentient gorillas in an effort to uncover his mother's equally speedy killer, and in later seasons, unpack the multi-dimensional logic enabled by other "speedsters." For all its teen-friendly drama, The Flash never shies away from the comic book nonsense (he said lovingly) or the splash-page action. Finally, our campy superhero TV shows can look and feel like the movies.
If you're obsessed with vampires, chances are you've made your way through just about every popular franchise to date. That's partially why First Kill felt like such an exciting show for fans to sink their teeth into when it arrived on Netflix. A classic supernatural story of forbidden love, the teen series revolves around a vampire (Sarah Catherine Hook) who's pining for the new girl in town (Imani Lewis), only to find out she's a vampire hunter—and both of them are on the cusp of having to make their first kill. It's extremely campy and at times delves into B-horror movie territory, but being that it's a rare sapphic entry into the teen fantasy TV genre, it puts a stake in the heart of the right audience.
Sure, the television adaptation of the movie adaptation of the book veers frequently into sentimentality, outright conservatism, and cheap melodrama, but it's these qualities that make it an essential piece of American television. High-school football serves as the perfect medium to explore the 21st-century American experience, and the qualities above are part of the deal. With knockout performances from Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, it's almost too easy to get sucked into the Dillon Panthers' football life.
Netflix gave Gilmore Girls the reboot treatment in 2016—but before you watch the four-episode follow-up, you can catch up with this wisecracking mother-daughter duo with the entire series that started it all. The show takes place in the quirky small town of Stars Hollow and features a dynamic supporting cast so fully fleshed, you'll feel like a local after your first hour. For extra credit, the Gilmore Guys podcast dissects the series episode by episode, providing a present-day watercooler for your thoughts on an over-20-years-old show.
Ginny & Georgia begs to be compared to Gilmore Girls: There's a young mother-daughter duo who relocate to a charming New England town, a local hunk who runs a cafe, etc. But Ginny & Georgia is also way more The CW than The WB, meaning this one's way soapier than Gilmore Girls ever was. You see, Georgia (the mom) is running from a dark past while becoming a budding crime lord to protect and take care of her children, nearly to a sociopathic extent. Ginny (the daughter) goes to high school and parties a lot and has lots of sex, unlike Rory Gilmore. So, that being said, if Gilmore Girls on melodramatic steroids seems fun to you, good news: It is.
Haters Back Off plays as an origin story for YouTube sensation Miranda Sings (Colleen Ballinger's internet persona), who has amassed millions of subscribers by caking on lipstick , dissing famous people , abusing the English language, and uploading tutorials on everything from dancing to making "TACO BELL POPCISCLES" [sic]. But Haters , co-created by Ballinger and her brother Christopher, focuses less on those vids and more on Miranda's offline pursuit of fame—love, betrayal, and tragedy all making cameos along the way.
Inspired by a young adult webcomic and graphic novel series bearing the same name, Heartstopper follows Charlie (Joe Locke), a recently outed British teen who develops feelings for Nick (Kit Connor), a jock at his grammar school. Against his friends' advice—Nick is straight, as far as they know—Charlie leans into the crush, unlocking something inside of Nick that he didn't know existed. The saccharine tale is a modern one, incorporating characters of every gender and sexuality, and featuring emotional appearances by Olivia Colman, who plays Nick's mom. The show's immediate popularity pushed Netflix to quickly order a second and third season, so expect these characters to stick around a while.
Contrary to its title, this show isn't actually a how-to guide—that would be pretty illegal if Netflix started dropping guides to the black market. It is a surprisingly hilarious German teen series based on a shocking true story about an unsuspecting high schooler who gets in way over his head selling ecstasy online in an attempt to impress an ex. The pacing and cynical, quick-witted humor makes it extremely binge-able, and with its trendy cinematography and Gen-Z references, it constantly feels like a never-ending trip you'd be fine never coming down from.
Don't be mistaken: This series may feature kids (Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff) from the It movies and come from showrunners of both Stranger Things and The End of the F***ing World , but I Am Not Okay With This is actually none of those things. The dramedy is another adaptation of one of TEOTFW author Charles Forsman's graphic novels, though, about a teenaged girl named Syd who, on top of dealing with the recent loss of her father and struggling with her sexuality, somehow starts to experience superpowers. It borrows the nostalgic music cues and moodiness that made TEOTFW work, but on its own is a queer, tender story about how grief and anger can manifest in teenage girls. Telekinetically giving bullies bloody noses and destroying super markets aside, it's the kind of relatable angst that you could be very okay with .
In the days of TikTok and viral tweets, it's easier than ever for anyone to get their 15 or more minutes of fame, but back when the internet was a wild west of content creation, iCarly mined the popularity of pixelated, day-in-the-life vlogs to tell its story of a group of teens who accidentally create an enormously popular web series. Move over Hype House, Carly Shay and her friends were living their lives online before it was cool. 
Yes, the title, the premise, the plotlines on this CW series are all ridiculous. But it's a telenovela—it's supposed to be over the top. What's truly unbelievable about Jane is how many serious, controversial issues it makes palatable without moralizing (#ImmigrationReform). Somehow, a melodrama about
