My So-Called Life

ComedyDramaRomance48 min per episode

At Liberty High in a Pittsburgh suburb, Angela Chase starts pulling away from the life her parents expect and toward a new group of friends who seem to understand who she might become. Ordinary school days turn into crises as friendships shift, crushes take over, and small choices at home and in the hallway suddenly feel huge. Angela’s voice carries the push and pull between wanting independence and still needing her family, while the people around her deal with their own secrets, pressures, and social lines. Claire Danes centers a story where adolescence is messy, intimate, and never limited to the classroom.
