I love how the school looks and feels like summer camp.

It's kind of nice to have an earnest teen drama. You don't really see that anymore.

I went to high school with John and his wife, so I tuned in to see how well they captured the atmosphere, and I really think they nailed it.  The school was a actually a bit more rustic (my husband referred to it as “a shitbox” the first time I took him to visit), but overall, that was really what it was like, especially my first year there, which was when John was a senior.
