I think I grew up not far from where the show was shot because I remember everyone talked about driving up to the town where the set was and seeing the actors etc. I grew up in northern Washington, but I could be recalling something else entirely. Maybe I’m confusing it with twin peaks, which was very different.
I do recall watching the show when I was 12, and having a very hormonal crush on a character, not sure who he was but he had long dark hair and light skin and he seemed to lovely and sweet, at least when I was 12. I couldn’t get past just staring at that guy wishing I could have some sort of middle school date with him…I wonder what character he was. I remember the guy was sorted treated like a simpleton or something.
