Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Another television reference here. “The O.C.” goes back a few years, to the early aughts, but this is a comparatively recent genre, since most serious shows that sought a young audience before the 90s weren’t really TEEN DRAMA — they were soap operas, or family shows like “Family” or “Little House on the Prairie.” I guess teenagers were just less dramatic back in the day. I watched “My So-Called Life” and would like to think that it was influential as far as this goes, but the trendsetter was probably “Beverly Hills 90210.”
