‘Beverly Hills 90210‘ isn’t just a regular teenage television series. It is a phenomenon. The 1990 show’s success has turned it into a television franchise with as many as six television shows under it. The number “90210” in the title is a reference to one of the zip codes of Beverly Hills, California, because the series is primarily set there.
The show revolves around a group of friends in their teens, living in the upscale and posh community of Beverly Hills, California. The series begins with the twins, Brandon and Brenda, shifting from Minneapolis to Beverly Hills. The series tackles several complex issues such as rape, substance abuse, homophobia, animal rights, eating disorders, and domestic violence. The eventual success of the show led its stars to become teen idols at the time. However, the show started with poor ratings in its first season.
