90210

Season 1 was marked by reboots of the main ideas every few episodes, while in the second season the creators had more clarity, which turned out to be a fundamentally good move... While I would have appreciated more returns of the original lineup, Nip/Tuck's AnnaLynne McCord reigns supreme among the newcomers - and she, along with her sister played by Sara Foster - are also good.

During Season 2, the new 90210 got the perfect drive, everyone's having affairs with everyone, the main motifs and plots change fatally every few minutes, everyone's talking about everything and there's no shortage of moral lessons. :D It's playful, it's got pizzazz and you find yourself believing in it, no matter your age.

In Season 3, HIV finally came up. I hope they end up copying all the clichés they can find. Teddy's coming out is pretty close to the modernity of today. From that comes the very pleasant feeling that the stories are happening here and now. When they talk about movies, they only talk about contemporary ones, they use real technology, and they are connected to today in every aspect and that becomes the main focus of the show. What does it matter that every two or three episodes, the currently most prominent plots turn into marginalia over and over again? Raj Kher is there to take current interest in lethal leukemia and remind us that interest in all things Indian is peaking. ;) I wonder what these fools will do when they start college? What if they simply pick up where they left off and basically nothing will change at all? And this is exactly what is happening. Of course, the harshest are the new character introductions, which are so paper thin that they could be erased in one fell swoop. Yet what makes me really happy is the flexibility of Adrianna Tate-Duncan. You can do absolutely anything with her. (10.01.2019)

It's funny how everyone in Season 4 is so wannabe adult, dealing with college and weddings, splitting up stories to those already in the workforce, and revisiting the shadowy past. Living on the beach has begun. ;) Naomi is being a bitch and that's really good for her because then at least she has plenty of reasons for revenge. And though she tried hard, nerd Max came up short for her. And Annie the escort? Similarly great as the late Brenda. It's just druggie Dixon that's dragging it down. But as always it's a marathon thing and episodically it wouldn't make much sense. Because in the second half, it's something different and more fulfilling. It takes Raj by surprise, and Jen Clark comes back as an even bigger bitch than Naomi thought. New developments: As Liam becomes a movie star, Silver begins to worry about his future, as a hereditary disease comes into play... Best of all is of course the epic shot => Naomi plans Max's wedding, Ade gives Dixon one last chance, and Dixon has a fatal (?) accident. So eventually Ade flies off to Las Vegas with Justin, Ivy moves to Mexico City so she doesn't let her new love with an addiction to street art slip through her fingers, Silver chooses between Liam (who gets Vanessa back) and Navid, and Teddy comes back into the picture, and still the ride continues. Speed, great twists, hot babes, it's all still there. (10.01.2019)

Season 5 christened 902-100 and reached certain highlights with the solo careers of Ade and Burlesque Silver. However, it was already clear that it was all culminating in the finale and the main storylines were simply being finished. Annie found herself and because of that, Liam as well. Naomi also found her piece of happiness, Silver will continue to fight the world, and Ade and Navid have each other. The nostalgia with which it all began came to fruition. The series ended and Jessica Lowndes' singles became a perennial: "Fool, I Don't Want You Anymore," "Teardrops Fall," "Snake Charmer," and "The Last Time." (10.01.2019)
