High School Musical: Das Musical: Die Serie

This show was surprising! When first seeing that HSM would become a series I was very against the idea. The show is a fun experience, with new characters who have interesting personalities than other Disney Channel shows. High School Musical: The Musical- The Series feels fresh and new, with a new humor to it. The series documentary feel adds a humorous effect to it as well. The show appeals to children as well as adults!

This mockumentry style of filming only solidifies my belief: This show is the love child of Glee and the Office. And if that sounds interesting to you, you should definitely give HSMTMTS a try. And because this show is for the Disney+ streaming platform and not just Disney Channel, there was a certain maturity to the show that (excitingly) makes me believe that it's demographic isn't just kids who currently watch Disney, but for people who grew up with High School Musical. It's funny without being forced, and a refreshing new take on an established franchise.

I was surprised by how good it was, the plot is wonderful and the actors are perfect. Besides that, it doesn't try to remake the og movies, it's just a really good show that I really recommend

Season One: 7/10

Themes: High School, Drama, Musical, Comedy & Second-Chance Romance.

Top three characters: 1) Ricky Bowen, 2) Ashlyn Caswell and 3) Nini Salazar-Roberts.

It's not High School Musical, but it's not meant to be. Honestly, this show is exactly what it's supposed to be: an homage to a classic series that tries to do its their own thing. It's a cute Disney show with teen drama, talented kids and decent humor. With most Disney shows you usually can't expect a lot but this show actually adds in decent LGBT representation, a diverse cast (speaking both of body types and races), and the original music is not bad either.

This is a must watch for teenagers and people who like encouraging young talent!
