Amazon's adaptation of twin pop duo Tegan and Sara's memoir will strike a chord with everyone, even if it's your first time hearing of the pair. Tender, charming and big of heart, this tale of adolescent rifts and healing is the antidote to most teen dramas. A darkly lit gem.
All of which makes High School, Amazon's new adaptation of indie pop duo Tegan and Sara's memoir for its Freevee offering, all the more unique, because it defies every one of those conventions. For the uninitiated, Tegan and Sara Quinn are identical twins from Calgary, Canada who formed a musical duo in 1998.
The impasse looks destined to be indefinite – until one of the sisters picks up a guitar, and, suddenly, everything changes., remains faithful to the twins' source material. However, with High School, she finds a cute angle to keep the narrative flowing. Every half-hour installment of the show is split in two, with each twin the focus for half.
