From the desk
How this season is filed
MTV’s deadpan antidote to teen gloss: a trench coat, a monotone, and a high school that deserves every eye-roll. Daria Morgendorffer treats popularity as a failing grade while Jane Lane draws the real picture. Adolescent satire that still feels like a private language — smart without being cruel, cooler than the jocks it refuses to chase.
