Best of Times aims for wistful high school drama
NBC and Larimar preview a new mid 1980s series set in a Southern California beach town. A divorced mother returns to teaching as teens navigate crushes, cliques, and classroom pressures with a cast including Mia and her friend Giselle. The show centers on Joanne Braithwaite, a returning educator, and features Dan Bragen and Mia's circle in a mostly all white, middle class setting. The premise packs teen angst and nostalgia but the plot feels uneven and trite.
