The Netflix TV show Crew Girl follows in the footsteps of successful coming-of-age dramas like Sterling Pointand The Summer I Turned Pretty. 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 Crew Girlsink, swim, or row?
