5. The Inbetweeners

A coming of age sitcom following the life of teenager Will and his friends in their conquest for sex, the show dealt with male bonding, school life, and situations that frame our formative years. The show is widely praised for presenting an honest, and consequently at times a drab picture, of what teenage life actually looks like – which was a wide contrast from the ‘wild’ life that many shows and movies present.

6. Awkward

This teenage comedy-drama follows the life of teenager Jenna Hamilton, as she struggles with coming into her personality, fighting peer pressure, and battling a misconstrued ‘suicide’ attempt. While there is no denying the hilarity that ensues, it’s the relatability – especially in the depiction of teenage pains – that really sets the show apart.
