If you’re ok with older shows then Gossip Girl (the original one), One Tree hill and the OC are all great. At least for a few seasons lol. My younger cousins really like Outer Banks as well, but I haven’t seen that.

Skins (UK original) and The O.C. - both were gamechangers.

Veronica mars and Friday night lights should be at the top of the list. Fnl is football themed but even if you aren't into sports you'll love it for the reasons you listed.

Veronica Mars is just fantastic tv all around. You'll know if it's your kinda show by the end of the first episode and it just gets better from there.

I would recommend some older shows like The OC, Skins (UK) or s1-4 seasons one tree hill. Gossip girl ( the og) was also a classic.

If you like supernatural shows Buffy the vampire Slayer is the best. Also the early seasons of the vampire diaries are fun

When it comes to new shows there is outer banks, ginny georgia and sex education.

Okay, so I see people recommending Friday Night Lights and while it is arguably the greatest teen drama ever made, it seems pretty different from the shows you seem to be used to watching and what you’re looking for.

It’s much more grounded with more realistic characters, but still lots of heart.

Here’s some shows that I would recommend:

MTV’s Awkward.- This show was absolutely hilarious and dark.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer- This is a given. It’s a total classic.

MTV’s Teen Wolf- The saying goes that this show ran so that Riverdale and CAOS could stumble into traffic. It’s true.

On My Block- This is probably one of the most realistic and funniest depictions of teenagers I have ever seen.

Heartstopper- This show is soooooo cute. I’m surprised you haven’t watched it yet.

The Vampire Diaries- Yet another show that arguably directly inspired Riverdale.

Edit: Sorry I forgot Sex Education which is pretty great and probably the closest thing to what you’re looking for here.

Heartbreak high (2022)

Sex education

Skam (you can find this on daily motion)

The Magicians (this one is more new adult than teen drama)
