The TVI Take

Animated comedy about middle school kids going through puberty, with personified hormonal monsters. Explicit but educational about puberty, sexuality, and identity formation in adolescence.

More frank about adolescent experience than most media aimed at teens. The craft is consistent, the show maintains quality across many seasons.
