There are certain pairings or moments in TV shows/movies/books I am not fond of seeing now, that I was OK with when I first encountered them. Most of the things that are squicky to me are due to other reasons, like Hagrid/Giant Squid cause I don't like bestiality very much in general.

I've never seen a TV show like my high school experience. I was angry and did lots of weird shit to my hair and people thought I was kind of scary. But really I was an AP student who played the cello and read a lot of poetry. I had a boyfriend. I went to parties and snuck around and did some sketchy things, but nothing all that bad. It all happened in rural Connecticut in the late 80s. My high school was terrible.

I enjoyed high school, but I wouldn't repeat it. No crazy boy experiences. Mostly unrequited crushes. I came home mostly on time. I had a couple OMG BIG DRAMA moments, but they were so few and far between. They make for a good story now!

It's interesting to see a small more confined town, with a very clear identity. Everything here in SoCal sprawls. There are cities of +80,000 people right next to each other.
I did enjoy the character development in the pilot. They fit in a lot of information!!
