But looking back, that triangle wasn't really about "ships" (Team Brucas vs. Leyton—let’s not fight in the comments). The lighting is dark, the dialogue is trying

But it’s also the only show that ever got it right. It understood that high school isn't the best time of your life—it's just the hardest. It understood that friendship is the real romance. And it understood that "everyone leaves" ... except the people who choose to stay.
