High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

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.

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!

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 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.
