High School Musical: El musical: La serie

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.

Honestly there's really NOTHING to be mad about because it doesn't destroy the original HSM storyline or anything. It is it's OWN show. It's humorous and lots of heart. Talented group of young actors! The mockumentary style is a PLUS!

This show isn't trying to be high school musical, and it shouldn't. They made a great Easy to watch teens series, that fits to young adults (and young in heart) who grew up watching the original high school musical. Just right, great cast (Nini is awesome ), no complains.

To start, I almost had no interest in even watching this show originally because I thought it was just going to be childish and cheesey. Then I decided to give it a shot and boy I can tell you that it's by no means boring or bad. It is clearly cheesey, but the show is well aware of that and firmly embraces it. The acting is really good actually, specifically the kids. I'm actually more invested in this show more than I should be, honestly. It is definitely a good time, especially if you are just looking for something lighthearted and fun.

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!
