lizbee: Three white, slim teenage ballerinas (DA: The Girls)
The best things about the Heartbreak High reboot (at least the first two episodes, which is all I've seen so far) are: 
  • the "You don't seem autistic"/"Okay, Sia" exchange
  • the casual queerness
  • all the Aussie teens on Tumblr and TikTok realising they have never encountered contemporary Australian drama made for them before
  • (this is an uncomfortable realisation, but Dance Academy ended in 2013, and I may have been the only person who watched Ready or Not)
The worst thing is the white male geriatic millennial reviewer who complained that the show isn't engaged with politics or class, when the first episode sees the non-binary kid pose as a private school boy to get an after-school job and there's a whole plot about the upper middle class hot boy pretending to be a feminist so girls will trust him.

Oh, and the other worst thing is the Americans trying to say that Aboriginal Australians can't be considered Bla(c)k, but fuck 'em, no Yanks on the thread.
