Alicia I love this movie so much

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

allallwin When it was broadcast-ed I almost never seen it live. If so I did not follow such a series. What I remembered was that it was dramatized, about showing off stuff, but also teaching kids not to gamble, drugs, burglary etc. SO I wonder, would teenagers and 20-something watch this, if only because of the, for them, not to good 'resolution' of images? I would hope so! :) Go and try season 1, and do not give up after 5 episodes, it get's way better after that. The later seasons, when they all go to work, get children are not what i like now, but the first 7 season, I binge watched it but in intervals, some story lines span more episodes after all.This show has a lot of story, family, integrity, the great use of contrast in the Walsh family and the other families in the 90210 area code, 'life lessons', a dash of adventure every now and then, and more!Oldie but goodie, for my taste that is. Great casting also.

sarahbbbyyy 90s was a time of cheesy, over romanticized television and Beverly Hills 90210 is no different. This show paved the way for teen drama shows today. However, that fact is not saying anything in any way pleasant.Every teen drama show borrows staples from this show and is basically the same but with different premises. However, they are ultimately not as impactful for the current generation of kids who would rather watch "reality" shows and HBO programs. Remember, 90210 was popular at a time where this show was the first of it's kind and it was also on a huge network channel, Fox. It was on when there were only a five channels to watch on TV and a limited number of shows that got the entire family together. It was the first time there was a show geared toward teenagers in a decade of hokey family sitcoms like The Cosby Show and kid shows like Saved By The Bell. However, with the diversity of shows today, that does not mean much considering the shows it paved the way for, ultimately have no place in today's TV except for maybe satisfying the preteen girl demographic who have no idea of what it is like to be a teenager or have ever step foot in a high school. They are very much like a Taylor Swift or Britney Spears(in her early years) song: no actual substance or grounds to reality but are very stylish and pretty, so people love it anyway.Beverly Hills 90210 is probably the third most sappy, over sentimental, and condescending teen drama show I have ever watched, behind Secret Life of the American Teenager and One Tree Hill. It is not the best written show in the universe.Every episode has a very self righteous character basically talking down to another for making whatever mistake they are making with their lives. This happens literally in every episode. These characters, no matter how old they get, seem to not learn a thing from their own mistakes but once another person does not fit the standards of their faux moral "ethics", they have the audacity to judge them. One of the characters, Donna, works for a production company that hires a young girl to shoot a commercial for them. She was a spoiled kid who is forced to work by her mother but is also babied and given in to whatever demands she presents. Donna, a young 20 something who is just out of college, has no job, not much life experience or any children for that matter, actually tells the mother how to be a parent and talks down to her about how much she spoils her daughter and over works for her. Guess what happens at the end of that episode? After getting fired for not giving into the demands of a child, Donna gets her job back and the mother actually took Donna's words into consideration. Happy Ending, shall I say? That is exactly how life works in real life, huh? Something like this happens in every episode.This show also glorifies white privilege and ultimately takes real life issues, putting an over the top, very unrealistic spin on it.One character Kelly has been a burn victim, a rape victim and a shot victim. She also went through a miscarriage. She was almost married to character Brandon and yet broke it off on her wedding night. She also had an affair with her best friend's(Brandon's sister might I add) boyfriend and yet is easily the most judgmental character in the entire series, despite her obviously mistake driven personality.This show is not very character driven, it is far more story driven, which is part of it's problem.Ultimately though, despite it's ridiculous amount of flaws, we can not rid of it's impact on culture of teenagers in general. It opened up doors to talk about issues relating to adolescence. It might have not been the most accurate portrayal but was the biggest show during it's time and finally gave teenagers something to watch that interests them. Without it, we might have never had anything better.

marksdavid33 Out of all the shows that made it through the 90s-this is as addictive as Dallas. The latter seasons were not as good, but the first 6 are amazing examples of 90s schlock. The character's are amazing and Dylan McKay steals the show. Emily Valentine was another awesome character that I fell in love with as a young kid. It's strange how certain episodes stick in the mind long after you've watched them. My buddys and I have 90210 marathons whenever we can. It's a great show to get drunk to and watch during a party. I love the cheese fest and ridiculous "serious" episodes. My main disappointment is the DVD releases. For legal reasons, which sucks they cut out a lot of the original music. I miss the lame bands and hope for an uncut set one day. "So bad its good" really applies to this slice of teen Americana. So grab some booze and indulge in this addictive soap opera that was WAY better then Melrose Place.

steve-61-293483 I'm not going to beat around the bush here. I missed 90210 as a kid. You see, it came on after morning cartoons on Saturday, the rerun of the previous week's episode. I was anywhere between 5-10, and I would watch the cartoons, see the show come on, turn the TV off, and then go play with my toys.I remember once watching a full episode in boredom however, and thinking Kelly was the prettiest girl ever.I'm 23 now. And oh man how I wish I had known what I was missing.This show is the bomb, even 12 years after it's cancellation. It really did show a lot of emotion, and a lot of the troubles of being a teenager, and put it in the spotlight. This show was right before the age of the internet and the mobile phone, and that's what makes it so good. There's no heavy gossip, no heavy backstabbing, just a group of friends who all want to help each other, that fight small obstacles throughout their life, such as love, drugs, violence, and alcoholism.From Kelly, the prettiest and most caring girl on the show, to Brenda, who you absolutely love to hate, this show really did put you on the forefront of what it was like to be a teenager and have those friends who you just.... want to strangle sometimes, and then give a great big hug too.I'm a guy, and I feel stupid for missing out on this show. What really makes me feel so sad is that all the cast members are old now - Almost middle aged, all grown up. They'll never be the kids they were on the show - I missed the show at the moment when it was most real, and when it's episodes actually quite likely reflected their own real life relationships.But it makes me feel warm sitting back and watching it. It makes me feel like a kid, a teenager, and even a toddler all over again. And for the onslaught of emotions that come with it, I can't fault it. Not at all.It's on Netflix now (As of 2012). Don't miss it - it's simply too good.
