Watching: Northwood

Overview

There’s a place where kids are kids, and the problems don’t have easy answers. A place where people lead real lives. A place called Northwood. Northwood follows the lives and loves of the teenagers who hang out in this middle class, ethnically diverse metropolitan suburb. Premiering in March 1991, and originally slated to air as a limited-run six-part series, high ratings for these six episodes garnered a full-series order, with the second season premiering in September of that same year. The series was created and produced by Nick Orchard.
