The first thing about this show that has always jumped out at me is the brutal honesty involved in each and everyone of the episodes. No matter the topic that the show confronts it always portrays the topic in the most straightforward way and does not gloss over any aspect of the topics. Another thing that caught me about the introduction to the show is the amount of depth in each of the characters. Each character in the show is fully explored, and even after only the introductions I already feel like I know the characters on a personal level.
The conversation in class was refreshingly in depth and considerate. Everyone managed to chip in and no one seemed displeased with the discussion. While technically the entire conversation was about the American Dream, I really enjoyed that we explored the connections to the economy and other aspects of the US today. Every time someone expressed an opinion someone else would have either a response or a continuation and there was never an awkward silence.
I found the opening section of the fourth season brutal and depressing in that such a young girl would be involved in such a dangerous and violent profession. Clearly education was not the most of her worries. I thought that the reaction by the salesman was telling, and although simple, indicative of the reaction that I would have had given the situation.
