Knight Squad

This is an alright fantasy teenage series for all viewers to watch. It is clear that the crew added in the effort and strength to create this teenage series. The storyline of this was fine and unique but the crew could have expanded it a bit further. The cast selection was great enough. They really committed to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry between the cast members could have been stronger. This fantasy teenage series reveals to viewers that the power of imagination is endless. I am a writer, which means that my imagination must be endless no matter what. This is a fine fantasy teenage series for everyone to watch.

Ok so before I start this review let me say Nickelodeon started with shows like iCarly and Drake & Josh. But then they started doing unfunny sitcoms like Henry Danger, The Thundermans, Game Shakers, The Haunted Hathaways, and THIS. The show is about a princess and a thief who go to a school for knights. These are what the jokes like: hee hee, butts and poop are SOOO funny. The characters are annoying, the acting is pretty meh, and like Henry Danger, the laugh track won't shut up. Also it suddenly goes from pee jokes to "you lied to me so you don't deserve to be on my team." So yeah, another year, another crappy nick sitcom to be avoided.

The idea/concept of this show, in which a princess has to transform herself into a knight to participate in knight school, is very promising. However, the show pretty much fails to deliver and execute itself properly. The acting is so lame, one doesn't even know when a character is joking or is serious. The scenes just go by too fast and there isn't any effort put into them. Mainly it is the poor acting and the poor execution and scripting that destroys a show that could have been really good, like The Thundermans or NRDD. Something about it is just failing. I expect more proper humour that makes one actually laugh, and more proper acting from the main actress herself, who does such a terrible job. Even some of the side actors are more talented than Ciara. Some of the dialogues can truly be cheesy and unfunny.

*6/10

Knight Squad is a Nick series aimed at a younger audience than Henry Danger and even than The Thundermans. So, the storylines are simple and there are some characters which are only written to provide laughs or amazement for a young audience, like the godawful younger brother character of Warwick, Fizz, or the furry creature Slobwick, or the warlock café owner. The sets are simple but not too disturbing for the series feels like a theatre show and the sets are also as good as your average low-budget theatre production. As to the cast, Owen Joyner who plays Arc is exceptional. He can act, sing, dance, and look great while doing it all. I believe his background of musical theatre helps him. Savannah May and Lilimar are quite good, too. The rest of the cast range from mediocre to very bad. Still, the series have episodes that teach an ethical lesson, there are wizards and knights and royalty around, and Owen Joyner is a pleasure to watch. I believe it is the best thing out of Nickelodeon since Henry Danger started. One thing they should improve on Season 2, though, is stunts. In many unnecessary scenes there is a stunt double for Mr Joyner and Ms Perkins and that that is another, older, more built person is way too easy to notice hence betraying the purpose.

I've been a viewer of Nickelodeon on and off since the early 2000s. Im now in my early 20s and I have to say this is the best show Nick has put on in very long time. I became hooked on the first episode ! Great cast, love the theme and diversity of the show and above all it's really funny!!

The show is set in a modern, but medieval like society . Its about a young boy named a Arc an inspiring Knight, that mischievously gets into school that trains young people to become knights. He joins a squad which consist of three kids about his age, one guy and two girls. One girl in the group is a quarter giant with super strength and the other girl who has a rivalry with Arc is secretly a princess but creates an alter ego to able to enroll in the school. Together the four of them form the "Phoenix Squad" and they complete with other squads in the school but frequently get into mischievous situations on the show.

The laugh track is kinda annoying but overall a great show and love the very diverse cast and humor. Hope it has more seasons!
