Rewatch Talk Doing a Rewatch

I’m doing a rewatch of this show after many years and apparently I stopped watching during Season 3 and kinda glad I did lol. I haven’t started Season 5 yet but between the sexual assault, autism awareness and cultural appropriation this show becomes very “ After school special” in a way where they’re just addressing so much teen angst which is ok I guess but feels like we lost the original plot lol.

Also I don’t remember Angelo dying but Daphne has really taken a turn for the worst with all her bad decisions. You would think Bay would be the spoiled child who goes against her parents but no it’s Daphne which is odd. She is also just a horrible judge of character, any boy that shows any sort of nice gesture to her she loses her discernment lol.

Yeah. There was so much going on after season 3. They just kept cramming so many topics together it strayed a bit from a teen-family drama sometimes. Which is fine but it was rushed and forced. Daphne just continues to be all over the place.
I mostly re-watch seasons 1-3 but Daphne irritates me so much I need a breather.
I’ve only watched the rest of the show maybe twice and it was only to refresh my memory the 1st time and 2nd was for Travis and Bay’s story ( separate and together ). Although I skip a lot of Bays parts because it affects me how much she went through.
