Grand Army

by Linda Krajčovičová

“We’re still here”. “I need to do something”. “I’m marching into a battle.” The intro of Grand Army’s first episode immediately hints that the show will attempt to address more serious issues than might be expected from a TV show about teenagers. The very first scene, showing Joey, one of the protagonists, helping her best friend take a condom out of her body, only supports the argument that the series is there to make people uncomfortable by pushing boundaries and talking about things that others avoid.
