    There’s a lot of high school themed shows that are meant for adult viewers. Why!?

        It took me a good 8 years and a lot of work to mentally leave high school behind forever. A lot of people never do this.

        People are constantly re-litigating high school. Here's an old example but it's extremely revealing.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/592075674938155008?s=19 …

        "Nerd Prom" is a gross, self-congratulatory name for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. http://wapo.st/1OpZ2bT  pic.twitter.com/r4rpQrDDRO

        Note that the author problem with the name "Nerd Prom" isn't the immaturity of comparing a gathering of extremely powerful people to a high school party, but mainly that the attendees aren't REAL nerds.
