The Wonder Years (1988–1993)
6/10
Not fun to binge watch
19 October 2017
Like many shows the first few seasons were better than the last two or three. There's only so much teenage angst I can take and some of it was pretty contrived. The writing on this show was too uneven, though I highly recommend the episodes on the piano lesson, the choir practice, and the math teacher, possibly some of the best writing in TV history. By the last season I wanted to throw tomatoes at the narrator. If I had to hear any more end-of-episode tripe like "just as in the spring the flowers bloom, boys everywhere are on the cusp of manhood" I was going to barf. From the other glowing reviews, looks like I may be in the minority here.
