High School

2022 · 1 season

A quiet, nostalgic coming-of-age story that feels like flipping through a worn photo album, tender and a little bittersweet.

Tagline: Sometimes those closest to us feel the furthest away.
Overview: A story about finding your own identity—a journey made even more complicated when you have a twin whose own struggle and self-discovery so closely mimics your own. Told through a backdrop of ‘90s grunge and rave culture, the series weaves between parallel and discordant memories of sisters growing up down the hall from one another. Based on the autobiographical book High School by musicians Tegan and Sara.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, warm and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, coming-of-age, family, music
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
