If you miss My So-Called Life, but not the angst, Sugar Rush is the show for you! The first series (episodes 1-3) of this groundbreaking British TV show follows the bumpy adolescent life of Kim, a lesbian teenager adjusting to her family’s move to Brighton. Desperately in love with her straight best friend, Sugar, Kim tries to navigate through sexual self-discovery, while dealing with her unhinged family. This sardonic and sweet series succeeds not only through the well-developed plot, but the portrayals of the young leads, as well. Olivia Hallinan’s Kim is relatable and wry, while Lenora Crichlow’s portrayal of Sugar will turn you on and break your heart. Sugar Rush is surely an invigorating ride.
