Story of Andi

For most of my life, I had been a Disney Channel die-hard. This lasted up until my mid-teens, when the network's downward spiral became too much to bare. The series I connected with the most growing up was Lizzie McGuire, so when it was announced that Disney Channel picked up a new series from Lizzie's creator Terri Minsky, I was ecstatic and full of new-found hope. To top it off, the premise sounded cute and refreshingly normal in comparison to most of DC's current content.

Disney Channel desperately needed SOMETHING to reestablish its legitimacy in tween programming; Girl Meets World and Best Friends Whenever showed promise, but never delivered on it; Stuck in the Middle is a huge step in the right direction, but still a bit too squeaky clean. Finally, we have Andi Mack. Something about it just feels real, whether it be the use of actually locations or the lack of a laugh track (please continue with these trends, Disney!). The young actress in the title role is adorable and shows real talent from the start.

That's not all, folks. There's a twist that is absolutely shocking for Disney Channel, and there's even a period joke in the first episode! That's right, Disney Channel has guts again.

Disney Channel desperately needed SOMETHING.

Andi Mack is it.

The 1st season of this show was smart, well paced, and cute; the 2nd season has been cute, but a whole mess in the plotline department.

The main relationship storyline - Jonah & Andi has been painfully dragged out for a whole 2 seasons. The 2 characters constantly backtrack on previous points in the storyline for no reason other than to stir up an 'A' plot worth of drama.

Buffy's plot has taken 3 very sharp turns this season, none of which resulted in any character development...

For Jonah's anxiety storyline, Bowie acts as his therapist while projecting his own problems onto Jonah. While that may be interesting to see, there is NO WAY that the children watching this can understand what projection looks like - making this storyline virtually useless to the target demographic.

Poor Cyrus has been neglected for an entire season, only to show up once every blue moon to remind the audience that he's gay. All he's been doing is supporting Andi and Jonah's relationship from a distance, without ever actually being involved in the storyline.

The only consistent plotlines are those of Bex, Celia, and TJ - despite him only being a recurring character.

I love it! (though it can get a it cringe at times) The cast is super talented, and it's plot is actually engaging and interesting. Best of all is there's no laugh track! The character act and dress like middle school students and are super easy to relate to rather than over the top. Not to mention the show manages to tackle more mature situations without alienating its target demographic, meaning all ages cam watch!

Honestly love this show so much. Love the actors, the storylines, it's all seriously amazing. The only problem i see here is , the relationship between Andi and Jonna, its kind like, Andi is jealous selfish sometimes. Like she gets mad at Jonna if he is friends with someone else. And sometimes it seems like he doesn't like Jonna or don't care about him.And she is the reason behind Amber and Jonna's Break up. They were real happy before andi showed up.

Buffy character is best in the series, for she doesn't care about anything and anyone, and independent girl with His own goal.

Cyrus is like , a boy who has no aim what to do with his Life ✨

Yes! This show is definitely one of Disney Channel's best (unlike what the first review said). JUST WATCH IT! If you loved Lizzie McGuire...this is like the closest to it and from the same people

I LOVE WOWP, Hannah Montana, and iCarly. So...if you like THOSE you'll like this. It's also edgier.
