Thanks Ami! The Degrassi series is a Canadian primetime drama that has captured audiences in more than 150 countries around the world.

The show developed a strong following for its “realistic and gritty portrayal of teenage life without resorting to melodrama.” The show has dealt with heavy topics such as online predators, sexual identity, date rape, and self harm.

Degrassi is one of Ami’s favorite shows and just discovered that the show is now casting Asians in the leading roles.
