High School Confidential: The Finale
Last night, the final episode of High School Confidential aired on WE tv. I’ll admit I was even looking forward to it, but I found it to be more of a recap of the series (read: less interesting to those of us who have followed the show) than I had hoped. We did see the girls off to Prom and graduation, but the episode was low on new content. I think it would be much more interesting to know how this experience has affected these girls now two years since the project vs leaving them off at graduation. Also, I noticed several of the updates were a bit outdated just from correspondence I’ve had with several of the girls about contributing to the blog.
My thoughts overall was that the show did a good job of providing an overview of a variety of high school experiences through the eyes of some vastly different students. If the project had begun with the knowledge of what it would become, I think a few things would have been done better (ie more footage, more interviews, greater emphasis on interconnectivity), but that of course if the value of hindsight.
The website does have some endearing footage of the parents reading final goodbye letters to their daughters, which if you’re a pushover for the sentimental, you’ll enjoy.
