Lauren Shulman Watches Beverly Hills 90210
From the post of her high school’s classrooms and hallways, articulate and insightful young adult Lauren Schulman analyzes the popular 90’s teen drama, Beverly Hills 90210. Schulman looks at the unreality that is present in a show that became intensely popular for its representation of the reality faced by young people growing up in the 90’s. Exposing the stereotypes of the simplistic characters, the moralistic and over-simplified plot lines, the impossibly beautiful actors and other quirks, this production presents a reality check for any devoted (or not-so-devoted) fan or ex-fan of “90210,” – admit it, you watched it – and looks at why, despite all this, it was still so darn appealing!
