Surviving Summer Review
Surviving Summer Review
You may be asking yourself, “Is Surviving Summer worth watching?” Don’t worry, we’ll give you a brief overview of the Australian series so you can decide whether to stream it or skip it.
Surviving Summer is a coming-of-age story centered around a rebellious teenager named Summer. We see how she changes, the lessons she learns during her time in Shorehaven and the friendships she makes.
Also, the fact that the series is set in Australia and not in the United States gives it a certain authenticity, moving it away from a classic, boring coming-of-age story. This is because in the series we see the beautiful coastal landscape of Victoria, Australia. Besides Summer’s story as the main plot, the series also has a subplot that revolves around the district’s surfer teens, since the town is located near the Great Ocean Road. Thus, Surviving Summer offers its viewers plenty of surfing scenes that are very entertaining.
