I'd say minimum 16. The sex talk is explicit.
At 13, I had a row of scars up my arms from cutting, plus a few burns from Bic lighters .
At 14, I was on Lithium and in outpatient treatment for self harm.
At 15, I was on birth control and having sex with my high school boyfriend.
At 16, I was smoking weed with my brother on the way to school and getting blackout drunk on the weekends.
At 17, I moved on to Adderall.
At 18, I was doing coke.
At 21, I graduated from a state school.
At 25, I graduated with my MS from a different state school.
At 30, I was a director in a global corporation.
The content is far more realistic than what most adults want to acknowledge, and it may surprise you what "successful adults" did as teenagers.
Do you really think what you did was typical of a teenager?
NP but yes. I was a relatively tame kid but my younger sister and her friends were doing coke, shrooms, drinking, smoking weed and having sex from ~15-16 onwards. This was a wealthy UMC school and they all went on to go to decent colleges. Of her friend group from that time there are a bunch of lawyers, PhDs, a couple physicians, a high school psychologist, a fairly successful actress, a few in consulting and finance, and all of them are well-adjusted and self sufficient adults. When our brother was doing his degree in finance at a top school the cocaine use was out of control among his crew. They are all successful.

1. he looks 30+
2. he gives off a gay vibe - nothing wrong with that, but he's not for Ginny.
3. they have no chemistry. It makes me uncomfortable in the forced kiss scenes.
I agree that they had no chemistry. I couldn't understand why he was considered cool when he was so corny. The tap dancing bit was mortifying.
But Ginny and Marcus were fire. They looked like teen love. They looked at each other the way I felt at that age with my first love - and trust me, I can remember!

Why can’t they tone it down 2-3 notches so it’s not so eye rollingly unrealistic.

My 16 yo watched the first episode and said it was idiotic.
16 yo dd also hated it and I was so glad!

So where were Ginny and Austin going at the end?
And why would Georgia ever get involved with a politician knowing the scrutiny she’d be under?

Especially #3.
The lack of chemistry is intentional. Ginny's true love is Marcus because he's messed up like she is. They get each other. Hunter is perfect on paper but he's not her penguin. But did anyone think this show is so problematic on the way out handles race? Not just Ginny but also Hunter.
Unless he turns out gay, then it’s a bad casting, IMO.
Especially after tap dancing in the hallway.
Yeah he gives off super gay vibes. Bad casting.

Normal teen boys tap dance in hallways?
