Degrassi: Next Class Season 2 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Degrassi: Next Class Season 2 trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. The Hollingsworth family must deal with the aftermath of the events of Degrassi’s Snow Ball that saw students forced into a school lockdown. Meanwhile, friendly pranking takes a very bad turn after the Degrassi girls volleyball team retaliates and goes too far against the rival team from Northern Tech. Also, favourite Degrassi alum are back and Student Body President Tristan will do whatever it takes to make the celebration an unforgettable one. Eric Osborne and Sara Waisglass lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Degrassi: Next Class Season 2. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Eric Osborne is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
