Advantages: Good storylines, likeable characters

Disadvantages: None

I cannot comment on the original series of Beverly Hills 90210 because I never used to watch it (I am only 18) but I will say I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by the new series of 90210. It kicks off with the Wilson family who have just moved from Kansas to Beverly Hills. The Wilson family consist of Harry, Debbie, Dixon and Annie. Dixon is black and is the Wilsons' adopted child, and sometimes he has trouble accepting that he is part of the family because he doesn't always feel like he belongs there and he wants to explore more of his own culture.

Other main characters are Naomi Clarke and her parents, Adrianna, Navid, Silver, Kellie and Ryan. The story lines mostly revolve around these characters, and the programme does alot of heavy character building, because you get to know these characters very well over the first season. Some of them are very likeable and others are not, and the programme has a habit of sneaking up on you and changing your opinion when you least expect it, so that someone in one episode you may love, but you will strongly dislike them in the next and vice versa, there are many great twists in this programme.

There are lots of storylines covered such as adultery, teenage drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, mental disorders and many more. There is never a boring episode of this programme as there is always something exciting going on in the characters lives.

I did not expect that I would be a fan of 90210 because I thought it would be pathetic and overly glossy and superficial but I was instantly hooked as soon as I saw the first episode. The storylines are ones that you can really get your teeth into and you keep wanting to go back for more and find out what happens to the characters. My personal favourite character is Adrianna, she goes on a real rollercoaster ride with her story lines and I find that I always feel like I want to know that she is going to be okay in the next episode. Give it a try and you might be as surprised as I was.

Summary: Well worth a watch!
