Backstage

I ended up giving this show a chance. Most likely because I went to an arts school. At first I found the show underwhelming, It wasn't bad, but also not very meaty. Over time it started to develop and once it started firing on all cylinders (quite a ways into the first series) I became very impressed. It's not just a kids show, though it's formatted like one and leaves out a lot of real world themes that high school teens wrestle with. It is on the Canadian family channel.

Besides being loaded with incredible music and dance performance that get better and better as the show moves on. Despite toning down on content to landing somewhere between G and a soft PG, it's a fantastic, real, and extremely engaging binge worthy show that deserves to run a very long time.

I hope the slow start of the show, and the initial lack of depth and complexity doesn't hold it back from becoming the phenomenon it turns into and deserves large and long term traction for. It initially does feel like only a tween show but evolves into something genuinely fantastic.

Disney has made some good sitcoms, and some bad ones. But never have I seen a sitcom like this before. Backstage is about these teens who have talent, dealing with the pressure that's put on them in school by teacher's and students. But Degrassi has a almost similar plot. They always have problems at school, home, drugs, sexuality Etc. I never really heard of the show ( probably because of the viewer ratings? ) but trying to compete with there version of drama, and nickelodeons version wouldn't be easy. Disney always want's to make there TV shows "Family friendly" but end up making annoying ones that kids at the age of 6-14 won't bother watching. I'm not saying the show is bad, but the drama doesn't grab viewers attention when the director was attending to. Maybe the writers just forgot what drama was like for them when they where teens. Just watching a clip from YouTube made me incurious from watching another one. They mostly just have really boring arguments that again doesn't appeal to anyone. If your looking for a decent drama that's more for teens, skip this show. If your looking for a family friendly drama you've found the right show.

I live in the U.S., so I have to watch it on Disney. The Disney shows have been going downhill, as everyone already knows. The only actual shows I watch on this channel are the Canadian imports. Sometimes they stop airing them, so I must watch it online. To be completely honest, I had low expectations for this series. But, after watching the premiere, I grow to enjoy this show a lot.

This show is a drama containing high school students going through trouble with their relationships at Keaton. This show clings into the story of their troubling problems and having to stay close to one another. The stress these students face is relatable. It seems it would be enjoyable for teens. But, young children might find this show a bit confusing.

Overall, this is one of the most remarkable drama I've seen in a while. Though it barely ever comes on anymore, I still watch the episodes constantly online. I can watch the same ones nonstop, and still be interested in what happens.

Backstage is an amazing show with likable characters, nicely thought-out messages, and a compelling plot. I recommend this show. You won't regret watching this drama.

A teen drama that manages to avoid cliché. It is done in a unique style not seen before by this reviewer. We get to know the characters, slowly,just as would happen in life. All the actors do great jobs with their roles. Their characters as well as their interactions are all very believable. Their dilemmas are typical for high school, but that can not be avoided. Still, the show does not dwell on anything unoriginal.

A unique show that manages to make something that should be worn out, talented performers at a high school, feel fresh and fun. Well worth watching. I am disappointed that Season 2 is being shown daily. It is a terrific show and deserves the once a week treatment. It does not deserve to be rushed through. I hope Disney understands what a gem this show is and gets behind it way more than they do. It is rarely on or promoted. Now they are showing an entire season in 3 weeks. This show deserves more.

I love how the show is set at an arts school and it is so good. I love how its so fun to watch but not cheesy like other shows can be. The show is so relatable and the talent that the show produces is incredible. I need a season three of Backstage! If there is no season three, I will not be happy! Everyone who loves Backstage needs to come together and make a fan club for the show so that the producers and creators of the show can see how much we love the show. I suggest that we start doing this now because the actors are getting older and moving on to other shows so we need to show them how much we love the show before it is too late!
