It premiered on ABC from August 25, 1994 to January 26, 1995, and was distributed by The Bedford Falls Company to ABC Productions. Located in a fictional liberty high school in a fictional suburb near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called The Three Rivers, it follows the emotional suffering of several teenagers in the social circle of the main character Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. The critically acclaimed but short-lived show ended in a cliffhanger with the expectation that it would be picked up for an additional season, but it was officially canceled on May 15, 1995. The show was praised for its portrayal of adolescence and the commentary of its central character, Angela. My So-Called Life covered major social problems in the mid-1990s, including child abuse, homophobia, teenage alcoholism, homelessness, adultery, school violence, censorship and drug use. Many shows at the time used these themes as a one-off issue (a very special episode) that was introduced as a problem at the beginning of the episode and resolved at the end, but on My So-Called Life these issues were part of the ongoing Line. The show's title hints at perception perception the futility that many teens experience and encapsulate the main theme of the series. The show portrays adolescence as a difficult and confusing rather than an easy, fun time. Characters In this section describe a work or element of fiction in a predominantly universal style.

(March 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this message template) Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes, is a 15-year-old sophomore at Liberty High School in Three Rivers, Pennsylvania, a fictional Pittsburgh suburb. She's trying to find out and establish her identity. To do this, she distances himself from her past and draws from her parents and childhood friends, Sharon Chersky and Brian Krakow. In their place, she befriended Ryan Graff and Ricky Vazquez. Angela is in love with Jordan Catalano and admires him from afar; they later begin dating and eventually break up. With this new relationship, Angela finds herself in unstable and sometimes dangerous situations; despite the temptation, it remains a level and a responsibility. Angela recounts 17 of the 19 episodes of voiceover. Alicia Silverstone auditioned for the Danes and impressed producer Edward Tswick, who wanted to cast her as Angela; she was also relieved, so that she could work longer hours. His partner Marshall Herskovitz thought Silverstone was too handsome to play a conflicted teenager who wasn't confident. Listening to Danes impressed both, but as she was 15 years old and had to attend school, after her casting, the show increased screen time for parent characters. From left to right: Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano, A.J. Langer as Ryanna Graff, Wilson Cruz as Ricky Vazquez, Lisa Wilhelm as Daniel Chase, Devon Odessa as Sharon Cherkaski, Claire Danes as Angela Chase and Devon Gummersall as Brian Krakow as Patricia Patti Chase. Unlike many tv mothers, she is the main breadwinner and, at the beginning of the series, hires a husband. She is convinced and often expresses her firm beliefs that at some point leads to a confrontation with the free spirit of Mother Rayanne. Enrique Ricki Vazquez, played by Wilson Cruz, is Ryann Graff's other best friend. He's a gay 15-year-old boy, raised by his uncle, who physically and emotionally abuses him. When his uncle kicks him out of the house, he briefly promotes Chase; He then promotes gay English teacher Richard Katimski (played by Jeff Perry), who becomes a mentor to him. Brian Krakow, played by Devon Gummersall, has an unrequited love and longtime friends with her and Sharon. Despite his high level of intelligence and understanding characters, he lacks emotional intelligence and is socially awkward and smug. This usually alienates him from his peers. Other characters usually turn to him only when they have an academic or technological request, and he usually seems willing if not actually happy to help them. He befriended Ricky closer to the middle of the series. Ryann Graff, played by A.J. Langer, is Angela's new best friend at the start of the series. She's wild, rebellious, and her single mother (Amber, played by Patti D'Arbanville-Kuinn). In an episode of Other Men's Mothers, Rayanne's depth of anxieties are shown when she suffers a drug and alcohol overdose at her own party. Jordana Catalano plays Jared Leto. He's good but rebellious, his bad image of a boy masking the real reason for his poor scholastic record (he has an undiagnosed learning disability and is almost illiterate). He is Angela's love interest, and during the series they have again, out again a relationship. He reveals his emotional depth in his ability to write songs and his occasional deep thoughts. Sharon Chersky, played by Devon Odessa, was Angela's best friend throughout her childhood, until Angela became friends with Ryanna. Sharon is pretty, conventional and academically minded, but her values and ideals are challenged throughout the show, and she grows to be more open. Danielle Chase, played by Lisa Wilhoit, Angela's younger sister. Particular attention is paid to how much it is ignored by her family. She has a biting and sarcastic mind serving as a kind of comic relief throughout the show. In the Halloween episode, she dresses up as Angela and fools her parents with her almost exact replication of Angela's red hair, clothes and behavior. Danielle recounts the penultimate episode, Weekend, in voice-over. Graham Chase, played by Tom Irwin, is Angela's father. He speaks softly and struggles with his role in the family and the direction of his life in general. Tino has never been seen, but is mentioned in almost every episode as running a joke series. He's a friend of Jordan and Ryann. Tino is also the lead singer of the Jordanian band Frozen Embryos (later called Residue). The Reception Critical Reception My So-Called Life has received widespread critical acclaim and is praised by some critics as one of the greatest television series of all time. On the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregation site, the show has a perfect 100% approval rating based on 10 reviews. Consensus site reads: Effectively avoiding cliches and cheesy exposure, my so-called life is a realistic depiction of an average American girl ahead of her time. On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating, the show has a score of 92 100 based on 19 reviews, which is a sign of universal recognition. This is the 35th-rated television series on the site. It was the first teen drama that didn't look like a post-school special. No one has ever learned a very important lesson or uttered the phrase, I love you, Daddy. Angela behaved like a real 15-year-old, with all the crying jags and Buffalo Tom concerts that implied. What's even more impressive is that anyone who watched the show back in the 90s, when Fear and Manic Panic felt completely momentful, can now enjoy it on a whole other level. Suddenly, Angela's parents are relatable. My so-called life was named the second best school show of all time on AOL TV. He was number 33 on Entertainment Weekly's New Classics TV list from 1983 to 2008, and in 2012 number 9 in The 25 Best Cult TV Shows of the Last 25 Years. In 2007, it was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 best television shows of all time. TV Guide ranked the series #2 in the list of 60 shows of 2013, which were Cancelled Too Early and in 2004 put it at 16th place in the list of 25 Top Cult Shows Ever.
