** Miss Jenn is a lot more considerate of her students' feelings in season four as well, definitely beating the concerns that she was just trying to live vicariously through them.

** Miss Jenn is either a very kind teacher who's trying her best to foster the kids' creativity in a world that can be hostile towards that, or is an abusive authority figure who belittles her students when they don't follow direction and is trying to live out her glory days through them.

General consensus is that she grows out of this at the end of season 2 when she realizes how bad she's been.

** Many viewers feel the final season addressed several issues with E.J.'s character, despite his limited screen time. He notes the mistakes he made in the previous seasons and how they landed him where he is now, he encourages his friends and family to work on their own issues, ends things with Gina on a more positive note, and in general becomes more of a mentor figure to everyone.

** A joke in the fourth season has Miss Jenn mention she's "willing to scab" by being part of the student's production of ''HSM 3''. This season came out deep within the strikes of both WGA and SAG-AFTRA in 2023, and many involved were vocally urging prospective writers and actors not to scab for AMPTP studios.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The show isn't entirely as kid-friendly as the film it's based on. There is mild swearing throughout the series (including some bleeped words), and the series is much more focused on teens falling in and out of relationships with one another than the films were.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A major concern among fans of the original before any previews came out was that the show would try and replicate the movies in order to cash in on nostalgia. This was immediately debunked after the first preview where it was shown that the show took place in the real world and had little to do with the movies' universe.
