I watch BBC America HollyOaks I thought the topics were really mature.The last show is coming on June 6,2008.I wish they had ended with all issues resolved and not leave the public wondering.I like the fact no one really made fun of anyone or made anyone feel uncomfortable why do you act the way you do thought out by teens.They needed a lot of time to define their behavior.

What Parents Need to Know
About Hollyoaks
Parents need to know that the teen characters in this soapy British drama drink a lot, have plenty of sex, and -- despite the show's community college setting -- do very little academic work. Mature topics like date rape (of both men and women), serial murder, domestic abuse, cults, cross-dressing, and affairs between teachers and teen students are central to the plot. Plus, there's plenty of lying, cheating, and manipulating people's feelings. In short, there's not much here you'd want your kids to see ... but it's enjoyable enough for a guilty pleasure of your own.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how shows like this portray teen life. Do you think they give an accurate impression of how real teens live and act? Which aspects of the characters' relationships seem exaggerated? Teens: Do your friends or classmates act the way these characters do? Can you relate to the issues they face? Which ones? Do you think the series oversimplifies the way conflicts are resolved? Why do TV shows and movies tend to do that? How is this show different from American teen soaps?
