61 Nostalgic Teen Shows to Watch Over and Over Again

Centering the experiences of Black and Latinx teens in an inner-city neighborhood, "On My Block" blends lighthearted stories of getting older with sharp insights into growing up amidst poverty and class struggles, racism, gang violence, and more. It focuses on these characters and these experiences rather than relegating them to background characters or "very special" episodes meant to "teach a lesson." Instead, it's a rich, complex, sometimes joyous, and sometimes devastating picture of teens doing the best they can to live full lives, take care of each other, and figure out what their futures can look like.
