Being Eve is a New Zealand teen drama series that aired on TV3 from 2001 to 2002, starring Fleur Saville as the titular character, Eve Baxter. The show centers around Eve's coming-of-age story as she navigates the ups and downs of teenage life. Eve is a fifteen-year-old girl who's struggling to find her place in the world. She's smart, but she's also unsure of herself, and this has made her an easy target for bullies at school. Her life changes when she's suddenly thrust into the spotlight after a school assignment goes viral on the internet. Suddenly, she's become an overnight sensation, and everyone wants to be her friend.

Amidst all the chaos, Eve is also trying to navigate the ups and downs of her first serious relationship with her boyfriend, Adam (James Napier Robertson). They have their fair share of ups and downs and face challenges typical of teenage relationships. Meanwhile, Eve's parents, Ian (Stephen Lovatt) and Mary (Alison Bruce), are dealing with their own marital problems, which ultimately affect Eve's life in myriad ways.

Throughout the series, we see Eve struggle with issues common to teenagers, such as self-doubt, peer pressure, insecurity, and the desire to fit in. However, as the show progresses, we see Eve grow and mature, gaining more confidence and finding her voice.

One of the things that sets Being Eve apart from other teen dramas is its unique storytelling. The show often breaks the fourth wall, with Eve speaking directly to the viewers, offering her thoughts and insights on various situations. This gives the audience a chance to connect with Eve on a personal level and see her as more than just a character on a television show.

Another aspect that makes the show stand out is its emphasis on music. Each episode features various New Zealand musicians, many of whom were up-and-coming artists at the time. The show also has an excellent soundtrack, featuring songs that help set the mood for each scene.

Overall, Being Eve is a heartwarming, relatable teen drama that deals with real issues facing young people today. It's a show that will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with self-doubt, peer pressure, or the desire to fit in. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves coming-of-age stories or who's looking for a good teen drama to binge-watch.

Being Eve is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on August 25, 2001.
