Engrossing and troubling, the docuseries presents a time capsule of today while allowing the teens to speak for themselves. Read full review

But whether your takeaway is repulsion or affection or newfound understanding or the desire to seek out an Instagram-free existence in the wilderness, Social Studies will stick with you.
