The Dutch know how to do these school dramas. The stories are realistic, relevant, and interesting. The characters have actual depth to them and are not just the stereotypical nerd vs. Jock vs. Popular kid, etc. And while the individuals remain true to their own specific character, they can also surprise you.
The story centers around a group of students in the same mentor les - H3L. The teacher is passive and tries too hard to befriend the kids, so they pretty much run over him. Many different topics are explored through the students such as drugs, sexual orientation, mental health, and even death. This is not a sanitized story as is so common with similar shows in the U. S.
