this is is as close as it can get to the life of a teenager growing up. in other words, it is very realistic with a few tweaks. i have been watching Ready or Not for many years and have grown up with it. it's a brilliant show that has even captured the attention of parents and teachers. there are many situations that deal with growing from a child into a teen. real situations such as family problems, friendship, crushes, wet dreams, periods, sex, drugs, alcohol etc.. it sounds awkward but that is part of what being a teenager is like. i remember being in my last two years of elementary school (the years when you begin to learn more about those awkward things) and the teachers would put on an episode of Ready or Not for us to watch. i'm guessing the program has made it's way into many school boards across North America for education reasons. there are lessons to learn in each episode.
The two main characters of the show are Amanda Zimm and Elizabeth (Busy) Ramone. they couldn't be more opposites of each other but they still manage to be the best of friends. Amanda is Jewish and very girly, emotional, and boy crazy. She comes from a broken family in which her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother. She's also a big dreamer and hopes to become an actress. Elizabeth is Italian and has a nickname... Busy, which she is called all the time. She is very much into music and plays the drums. She comes from a big family of three older brothers and two good parents. With her being the only girl in the family she grew up with all boys and is natural for her to be very tom-boyish.
The show is obviously about both Amanda and Busy and their different situations in their lives. it follows them from grade school to high school with the benefit of giving the viewer a sense of realistic teenage life. i'm sure many people can relate to at least one situation in the series. it's definitely something worth watching and is sometimes inspirational. i know it isn't very mainstream like Dawson's Creek but that's the beauty of it. it's an independent show and doesn't have the glow of Hollywood. it's very much like an independent movie. but it really is an independent program. if you're looking for glamour then watch something in the mainstream. if you're looking for something deeper and more real, watch an indie like Ready or Not!
