Having grown up watching the original series I have enjoyed watching the new series. I had not seen it on TV so am slowly watching the seasons on DVD. Season 3

5/5 A Season of Change
  by Ciarra Logan
In season three of Degrassi: The Next Generation, several of the characters go through some pretty significant changes. As identity becomes a major theme this season, many of the characters go through interesting developments. Some mature and others change for the worse.

Manny changes her physical appearance, which consequently alters her personality as well--causing her to make some careless and irresponsible choices. Marco is finally forced to come out to all his friends about his sexuality. And Spinner, who considered himself one of Marco's closest friends, lashes out when he finds out the truth about his friend.

In addition, we get lots of new romances and relationships this season, including an important love triangle that becomes a major part of season three. The issues are multiplied this season. If you thought season two was drama heavy, season three deals with even more difficult subject matter, which include: homophobia, teen pregnancy, abortion, relationship abuse, and cutting. All of the characters go through major changes this season, as they continue to grow and develop into young adults.

The show is currently entering its eighth season, and yet I still consider season three to be one of the show's best seasons to date. The characters are still growing up and clearly have a lot to learn, and the issues they deal with become more challenging. And yet the show doesn't go overboard with drama, like it does in some of the later seasons. Degrassi is still real and relatable in season three, and the entertainment value is some of the best the show's ever seen.

5/5 Season 3

Even better than Season 2. The Degrassi:The Next Generation series just keeps getting better. It's great to sit down and just have a Sunday afternoon Degrassi Marathon.
