Caution: spoilers.

This is a 2014-2017 sequel series to the 1993-2000 series Boy Meets World. I think I must have first heard of it in late 2012, so I wanted to see it ever since then... but I don't currently get Disney Channel, so I couldn't. Which is really annoying. But I finally started watching it on Disney+ in 2021, and I guess I kind of like it. Not as much as the original series, at least at first. But over time it grew on me, so yeah, now I like it as much as the original, if not more.

Season One
Anyway, Cory and Topanga Matthews from the original series are now married, and have two kids, a 12-year-old daughter named Riley and a young son named Auggie. The show focuses on Riley and her best friend, Maya Hart. They're both in a history class taught by Cory, which they frequently interrupt and sometimes even just walk out of. I don't remember that kind of thing happening on the original series when Cory was a kid, but it probably did. Aside from Riley and Maya, they have two other friends: a weird but very self-confident boy named Farkle, and a boy who recently moved from Texas to New York City, named Lucas Friar. Riley has a crush on Lucas, but Maya makes fun of him a lot for being from the South. (Most of the time I think she's the best character on the show, but when she makes fun of Lucas I just think she's mean.) There's also a little girl named Ava Morgenstern who lives in the same building as the Matthewses, and is sort of Auggie's "girlfriend", but Topanga can't stand her. I don't really know what else to say right now, except that I do really like the friendship between Riley and Maya. Oh, and I think the theme song's kind of catchy.

Season Two
Let's see, what are some of the major developments this season? There's a bakery where the kids often hang out, run by a woman named Mrs. Svorski (Cloris Leachman), who dies in the first episode. Topanga inherits the bakery, which changes its name to "Topanga's", and everyone continues to spend time there. Also, Maya's mother, Katy, eventually gets a job there. In the third episode, Lucas's old friend from Texas, Zay Babineaux, moves to New York and transfers to the kids' middle school, and becomes a semi-regular member of their friend group. (Well, probably I should say a regular member, who knows how much they hang out with him offscreen? But he doesn't get as much time onscreen as the main four friends.) And Cory's best friend from childhood, Shawn Hunter, starts dating Katy. A boy named Charlie takes an interest in Riley, though she's still more interested in Lucas. And I think it was this season that we learned Maya is an aspiring painter. And there's a girl named Smackle from a different school, who was an academic rival of Farkle's in season one, but the two of them become closer this season. At one point, Maya comes to the realization that Riley likes Lucas like a brother, and begins to develop feelings for him, herself. But it turns out she was wrong about Riley's feelings. They both have romantic feelings for him, but he doesn't know how he feels, and doesn't want to ruin his friendship with either of them. So in the season finale, he decides they should all remain just friends. Also in the finale, they all graduate from middle school.

Season Three
Details coming eventually.
