Greenhouse Academy

I started watching this series on Netflix out of boredom-it looked cheesy, light, and probably excellent material for a hate-watch to take my mind off of school stress and anxiety. I considered my initial judgement to be accurate until about...half way through the first episode.

It is cheesy, and filled with clichés, but the the writing isn't bad, and the characters are so sweet and lovable, despite being flawed. The way the friendships were written and acted was really heartwarming, and the drama felt real. I hope to see a second season!

Eight stars instead of ten because the acting could be a little sub-par at times (although ultimately it draws you in), the antagonists could have been less stereotypical, and there wasn't any LGBT representation.

This show is horrible, I love it. The acting is horrible.

I actually quite enjoy watching this show on Netflix. I came across it recently, and find it really easy to binge-watch. Sure, the acting isn't always brilliant, and the plot seemingly fairly unrealistic, but it is a fun programme to watch. My main issue with it is the character Aspen's horrendous English accent. I have no idea where the actress comes from, but her English accent is quite possibly the worst one I have ever heard. Every time she speaks it makes it difficult to focus on what is going on in the scene because my sister and I honestly can not stop laughing over this supposed English accent. Overall, good programme with an interesting and captivating plot and likeable characters. I admittedly haven't made it all the way to the end of season two so don't know how it concludes, but I am enjoying it so far.

It seems like they adapted the story for this series from something they found on a fanfiction website. The overarching storylines for the seasons are so bad it's actually amazing someone, somewhere read the it and said 'yeah lets make that into a TV series'. So many things happen in this show that'll make you pause and think 'well thats dumb'.

But the actors do a really good job. So many times cheap shows have bad actors. Not here. The characters are interesting and likeable. This show has a charm to it that makes it enjoyable. Also props to how they do the end credits on each episode, it adds something to the show. You'll see what I mean..

I enjoyed the first 2 seasons and I'm pumped to binge season 3.

The story line is cheesy. The acting and writing is iffy. But the lighting, set design all make for a light airy feel that works.

I wrote a scathing review recently about how Hollywood makes anyone who is white or male or worst yet, a white male be the butt of jokes, the bad guy, and so on.

The producers in this film got it diversity right. Good guys, bad guys come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
