High school protagonist Serena Alston of new HBO coming-of-age series literally everywhere but in school.
“Guys, how about we go see a showing at the drive-in movie theater” exclaimed Alston to her friends, even though she most definitely should be in school at 10:00 a.m. on a Tuesday. “And after, we could go swimming in the reservoir and tan for a bit? It’s such a beautiful day out and it’s not like we have anything better to do.”
“Just promise you won’t tell my parents what we’re up to” continued Alston, who hasn’t been shown within a 10-mile radius of her high school nor done a minute of homework since September. “They’ll freak out, especially if they find out that the boy I was caught sneaking out to see last week is coming” dragged on Alston, who really should be studying for her 4 AP classes that were briefly mentioned five episodes earlier.
At press time, Alston and her friends still somehow all got accepted into Ivy League schools.
