— For the last 14 years, Degrassi: The Next Generation has told pioneering stories about sexuality, gender and scores of other issues facing today’s teens. Yes, they were always served with a hefty helping of soapy teen melodrama, but the show’s purposeful envelope pushing has long been a refreshingly candid portrayal of teenage life. The series wraps its run with new episodes all week, beginning tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on TeenNick, culminating in a special look back at the series before the two-part finale Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern.
