Actually, I watched the first season of this series

But to be honest it was years later when I was sick on the couch, drinking cough syrup.

Narcotic cough syrup.

For several days.

In this tableau alone we've got: 1) a victim of date rape, attempted rape, non-date rape, amnesia, a terrible frat-house fire, a stalker, a cult, endometriosis, drug addiction, diet pills addiction, and her step-brother seeing her naked; 2) a dude whose mom was homeless and mentally ill, who was addicted to meth REALLY BAD for one day, who stole money from his girlfriend, who accidentally misplaced his sister because of drugs, who saw his friend accidentally kill himself, and who had to deflower Tori Spelling; 3) Steve Sanders; 4) the most self-righteous character ever written who also happened to be gambling addict, a possible sex addict and someone who caused a drunk-driving accident; and 5) a Type A perfectionist who nevertheless almost had an affair with her drama teacher, had an affair with a dude she met at the laundromat, had an affair with her RA, had an unplanned pregnancy and a terribly painful divorce, and also really bad outfits.
