Things that Young Royals did better than any other tv show - spoilers -
• the teenagers look like actual teenagers not like 26 year old photoshopped models
• the popular girl at school is not the skinny white manipulative mean girl
• an appropriate amount ox realistic sex scenes
• felice and saras friendship is genuine. every other show would've made felice set sara up and humiliate her in front of the whole school but felice really wanted to include sara and wanted her to feel welcome
• the characters actually talk to each other and don't throw a tantrum when someone makes a mistake. they give each other a second chance (wilhelm and simon) (felice and sara)
• actual representation of how being a royal is not a dream at all
• no shock moment that seperates the protagonists... simon and wilhelm go through this together. they talk, they communicate, they listen to each other and share their honest thoughts, damn that was so healthy
At first you would assume this show is just another Gossip Girl or Élite but this is just so real. No toxic Chuck Bass, no manipulative Blair Waldorf, no unrealistic soft p*rn threesomes that do nothing for the plot. No teenagers wearing their sexy ripped school uniform covered in gucci and chanel jewelry
I am glad teenagers nowdays get this kind of representation of actual life, still covered in a fictional world that is interesting to watch.
