Up Here

So I'll admit - I've been a long-time fan of Mae Whitman & Carlos Valdes. Mae is always entertaining, wonderful, and witty. What struck me though, was Carlos - I haven't heard from him since his StarKid days, so I was thrilled (and intrigued!) to see him in something so mainstream. Together, these two make a wonderful blend, and it just feels right. It's corny and cheesy but in the best sort of ways.

I think this would be the perfect show for when you're feeling down and need a little pick-me-up. The plot line is easy to follow, it's formulated like any other romance. However, I found myself incredibly invested. I was on my toes the entire time watching it.

This was easily a sweet little bite, and I am incredibly excited for season 2. As soon as Lindsey had that conversation with Ted, in the final episode, I knew where it was going.

Again, what a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. The songs are fun, the actors are all talented, and this was just a blast. (-:

It's a musical rom com so you know what you're getting into already. But the leads have an amazing chemistry together and the entire cast is really talented. I think if this was a movie, without the musical numbers, it would be kinda boring so this is an instance where the songs really make this show shine. The songs are actually good and also funny, not overly corny. I've seen musical rom coms but the songs are always so serious, this one makes you laugh all the way through which i didn't expect. I'm really excited to see what's next, i hope this wonderful show can go on for another season :)

This is such a fun show and both leads (Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes) are terrific...Especially together. The music is a surprisingly beneficial addition to the premise of the show - characters stuck in their own minds. There are many comedic moments that could be overly cheesy if the cast wasn't spot-on. As it is, I wouldn't be disappointed if plot and musical numbers were given more intricacies and weight in the next season, but regardless, I believe this show will find itself beloved by many if given the chance. It is the perfect cocktail of funny characters, a romance to root for and backstory in which to be interested. The writers need to lean into their two leads - their chemistry as well as their ability to handle serious and comedic acting. Also, just keep sprinkling in the randomness. Freaking loved the rats scene! It was terrible yet hilarious and Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes made it work.

This is a cute show! It's very relatable. Who doesn't want to shut up the voices in their head! The leads are great together. But I'd have to say my favorite casting is Scott Porter. He always place the all american nice guy so this is a fun role for him and he does it well! Mae Whitman is fantastic as always and this is perfect for her everyday quirky girl. Some of the music is eh or distracting but some is good and adds to the show.

Im excited to learn more about these two and the voices in their heads

The 90s nostalgia is also great. Feels like it's everywhere now but they do it real well.

This show has its flaws, but it really has some catchy songs, overall good choreo, and a compelling and emotional exploration of what it means to trust someone and how our past outlines how we interact with the world, and our past relationships can affect how we behave in new ones. And the character Miguel!! It's so rare to see a man's trauma explored and softness in personality celebrated, without it being played for laughs or only created so a woman can find him attractive. So it's a refreshing addition to television as far as I'm concerned with his character :) and he's so well acted too! There are some weak lyrics (but also some great ones), the lead woman feels written a bit weaker than her counterpart (the aforementioned Miguel), and some of the choreo feels like it wasn't altered for television and would play better on a stage; but it's still solid performances all around. If you like musicals, I think you'll like this. Watch it just for Miguel, I swear!!
