Beetlejuice

Lydia is allowed to like strange things. The ghost is not a friend to copy.

The series is the film's joke stretched into Saturdays: Lydia is serious, the adults are fools, Beetlejuice is a id with a name. A child who already likes monsters can watch an episode and not be wounded.

Do not let the con man become the imaginary friend you encourage. The part worth keeping is a girl who is odd and still goes home.

The eight

  1. Industry

    3/10

    He runs scams. She does school. Neither is a craft the show respects for long.

  2. Household

    4/10

    A living family that does not quite know her, and a dead one that does.

  3. Piety

    1/10

    The afterlife is a bureaucracy played for a laugh.

  4. Courage

    4/10

    She is not afraid of the dead. Fearlessness without judgment is the risk.

  5. Republic

    2/10

    Offices of the dead, all corrupt, all jokes.

  6. Temperance

    5/10

    Gross, not cruel. The grossness is the flavor.

  7. Truth

    4/10

    It tells you he is a pest. It also wants you to like the pest.

  8. Stewardship

    3/10

    A girl handed a trickster instead of a grown person.

Series · Prime Video · 1990

Beverly Hills, 90210

A soap that sometimes remembers parents. The lesson is usually the party.

Jim and Cindy Walsh are the reason it is not only a party. Someone in the house still asks where they were. Around that, the series teaches a zip code, a jawline, and a problem-of-the-week that resolves so the dance can continue.

If you watch it, watch it as a period piece about 1990's idea of a problem, not as a guide.

The eight

  1. Industry

    3/10

    School is a backdrop. A few of them have jobs in later years.

  2. Household

    5/10

    The Walsh parents are present, which was the scandalous part.

  3. Piety

    2/10

    Morals arrive as a very special episode and leave with it.

  4. Courage

    3/10

    They face social risk. The risk is the invitation list.

  5. Republic

    3/10

    A rich zip code standing in for a society.

  6. Temperance

    3/10

    The show scolds the excess and schedules it for next week.

  7. Truth

    4/10

    It will raise a subject and then soften it before the credits.

  8. Stewardship

    3/10

    It handed a generation a picture of teenage life as a wardrobe.
