Spinning Out

Expected a bittersweet drama with bad acting, got an intense drama about mental health and sports. Worth it.

So I was a little bored and I came around this on Netflix. Thought it was going to be a light fun show to watch. Planned on watching one episode that evening Bing watched the full 10 episodes on one night. It was surprisingly good! I got really drawn into the story. I really enjoyed it!

I couldn't get enough of this,I hope they bring a season 2 out.

This show really caught me off guard. I thought I'd give it a try because I like sports dramas so I'd probably enjoy it. But damn! This is actually a really good show. What I like most about this is that it has very multilayered and quite believable characters. And it also adressen mental health, child abuse and other very important topics and it does it in an intruiging and entertaining and way.

The only thing that's not so good is the acting, but it got better as the season progressed, and I didn't really mind.

Great start to 2020. Looking forward to season 2! Have a great year everybody!!

Netflix unleashed it's new intense, adult ice skating drama on January 1st. One of my favorite actresses Kaya Scodelario of Crawl and best known from Skins stars as Kat a bi polar champion figure skater who suffered some trauma when she cracked her skull open while doing a new move. Some time later she's been back to training in hopes of getting her coaching certification but she just can't land the move that sent her away. The drama is set at a ski resort where she works along with potential love interest Marcus and bad boy Justin a champion pair skater whose looking for a new partner. She also lives with her bi polar mother and young champion sister. As the drama unfolds we are introduced to an array of well written characters including her best friend Jenn. All of them have stories and struggles and the world is explored in a unique way. Theres also the struggles of bi polar, secret love stories, class and race struggles and more. I won't say too much because I don't wanna give anything away. But if it seems like it might interest you it's a really intriguing show and although not perfect, one I really wanna see continue.
