The very kind Stuart has posted about our project and his own love of My So-Called Life.
He’s a committed fan — he even made a t-shirt. [<— Contains spoilers.]
And he wrote this review for Imdb (save it until you’ve seen the show in its entirety if you haven’t already) which contains gems like this:
Even if you didn’t want to admit it, you were one of them. You were Rayanne Graff, afraid of the world and overcompensating. Sharon Cherski, searching for your own identity beneath the expectations of others. You were Rickie Vasquez unsure who you were but quietly finding an equilibrium. You were Jordan Catalano torn between your friends and something else. You were Brian Krakow, the romantic with so many high expectations of people. You were Danielle Chase, always being kicked out of different rooms. You were Patty Chase fighting to keep your family together. You were Graham Chase fighting to keep yourself together. And you were always Angela, your world falling apart around you, every choice being wrong, every moment a battle, but somehow slowly working it all out.
I think he’s right that the show’s impact and fans’ pure love for it is in part because it didn’t get bloated and past its prime like Beverly Hills 90210 or Dawson’s Creek did or like One tree Hill is now doing. It ended too soon, but just at the right time.
Or something.
