Summary

Relive the cult-classic TV show My So-Called Life with interviews from cast and crew about the teenage drama that shaped a generation.

Shortly before its August 1994 debut, ABC's My So-Called Life was hailed by critics for, as the Buffalo News so memorably put it, setting "a standard that no new show can live up to."

It was canceled the following January.

Yet in the space of just nineteen episodes, the witty, bittersweet story of fifteen-year-old Angela Chase built a die-hard following thanks to stellar writing, an uncompromising depiction of adolescence, and ultra-relatable characters.

How that happened, and why it all came to an abrupt halt, has remained a source of fierce debate―until now. So Beautiful It Hurts: The Making of My So-Called Life is the first book to document the creative process behind this landmark series.

It is based on exclusive interviews with those in front of and behind the camera, including the creator, producers, directors, writers, cast, crew, and other voices.
