FX premieres two episodes Friday of the new documentary ‘Social Studies’ exploring the impact of social media.
Social Studies has a whole new meaning when you grow up with social media your entire life. That is at the heart of director Lauren Greenfield’s documentary exploring the lives of high school seniors in Los Angeles. This is the first generation to always have this medium in their lives and the documentary is a great discussion of the good and bad of how this has affected their lives. The strength of this documentary is the diverse student body that this limited series features. It is a fascinating glimpse of what it now means to be a teenager. The students in this series are also incredibly vulnerable and open giving us a look behind the scenes of what goes into their social media persona and accounts.

There is very few topics that are off limits with the documentary focusing on bullying, beauty standards, racism and what it means to grow up in this digital age. High school was difficult enough for everyone without every moment being documented. This is an opportunity for these kids to flip the script and teach us what it is really like to live the life of a digital native. The first episode doesn’t pull any punches as these L.A. teens are returning to school post-Covid. There will be two episodes of the doc premiering tonight. The second episode features these students encountering racial and class divisions that are only exacerbated online. We all have a lot to learn from these students.
Regional restrictions may apply.
