Daria is incredibly accurate to the teen-experience, even at my time of writing in the year 2021 (the year I graduated high school).
This show was ahead of its time. Incredible writing, comedy, and sincerity. Daria lays it straight out on the table.
Watching this show throughout my high school life allowed me to parallel my own experience with Daria's and has given me the realization that nothing has changed about the school system or the youth generation in 20 years. The generic cliques portrayed by the cast of Daria are still prevalent in modern day society, to the dismay of the "brains" and "weirdos" of the school. Families everywhere will always have some dysfunctionality, friends may betray you, and relationships are arduous to maintain.
Daria sheds light on these truths through and through, and leaves room for self-discovery, all while sustaining an impeccable comedic sense along with moments bursting with emotion (believe it or not, from Daria herself).
So go out there and watch it and stop reading reviews. The best way to know if a show is for you is to sample it. No harm in doing so.
