First four seasons are incredible (4 is my personal favourite. 5 and 6 seriously arent worth watching, they dont even bother to bring back characters from 5 and 6 in season 7. Be warned, show gets INCREDIBLY emotional intense, over the top and unrealistic at times, especially towards the end of seasons, but I would say that's part of the appeal. Overall incredible, powerful, brilliantly acted show with endearing and compelling characters and powerful writing which balances drama and comedy very well. Also incredible sound track. Must watch for pretty much all teenagers.
