Vicariously reliving my teenage years Through "My Mad Fat Diary"

I decided to check out what this show was about because I stumbled upon a GIF from one of the episodes on Tumblr and it was so freaking adorable, I just had to find out WHAT IT WAS!! And boy was I glad I did!! First of all this show deals with some serious issues. And it does so in a very captivating manner that it just hits you right in the core of your heart! It takes you back to those adolescent years of being a teenager and exploring Life and Love. At first you'd think "oh this is just another show about teenagers drinking and doin' it all the time" well it's not! Yes it involves drinking and they talk about sex a lot! (but hey what show doesn't these days) But it's the way the topics are approached that makes it different somehow. It explores both the bright and dark sides of being a teenager. The insecurities that most people face when they're young and how they choose to deal with them. The dark choices we decide to make when it becomes to much to bare, the weight of being young and insecure and wanting to be accepted. It takes all those bad things and infuses them with a beautiful, delicate, innocent story about well Love! Love and the friendships we make along the way which help us get through the rough hurdles of life. ANYWAYS not to make it sound like a completely depressing show (which it's not really) and I won't give away too much of the story but for all it's worth this show is definitely worth checking out, it has some amazing moments, that will make you smile, cry, and laugh hysterically as you explore life though the eyes of the remarkable "Rae Earl".
ALSO one more super important thing this show has to offer that just makes it AhhhhMazing THE MUSIC. It's set in the 90's and they focus on certain bands, so expect a lot of Oasis, Stone Roses, Blur, Radiohead, The Smiths, The Cure, all the best music from the 90's really! ( yes even Spaceman by Babylon Zoo) and get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey!
