2019 has been an amazing year for teen dramas, but we had to wait all the way until October to watch one of the best ones. After years spent in development hell, the adaptation of John Green’s cult novel Looking for Alaska is finally here, and it’s the perfect show to watch on a rainy day.

Hulu’s new teen drama centers on Miles “Pudge” Halter, who enrolls in a new boarding school in the search of “the great perhaps.” He forms an unlikely friendship with fellow misfits Chip “The Colonel” Martin, Takumi Hikohito, and the enigmatic Alaska Young.

When it first came out in 2005, Green’s breakout novel won us over with its authentic look at teen angst, friendship, and love. Its adaptation proves this novel has stood the test of time, and it does a great job bringing it to a whole new generation despite its seemingly outdated setting.

Looking for Alaska will also give you nostalgia overload because it was created by the masterminds behind our favorite guilty pleasure shows The O.C. and Gossip Girl.

When it comes to comparing it with the biggest teen hits of 2019, it may lack the visual extravaganza of Euphoria and the humor of Sex Education, but it makes up for it with relatable characters, a bittersweet plotline, and a big heart.
