About this episode

The Netflix TV show <em>Crew Girl</em> follows in the footsteps of successful coming-of-age dramas like <em>Sterling Point </em>and <em>The Summer I Turned Pretty</em>. It follows Teagan, an ambitious high school rower (Miku Martineau) trying to fit in on the boys’ crew team at a fancy prep school. The show’s got a plucky fish out of water, a love triangle with two very different boys (Kyle Clark and Sam Braun), and a dreamy sunlit setting. But does <em>Crew Girl </em>sink, swim, or <em>row</em>?<br/><br/><strong>Looking for more teen coming-of-age stories?
