Julie and the Phantoms

I loved this show much I watched the whole season in a day!! That's saying something. It's a feel good, funny, emotional, and romantic show that just makes you feel good. Truly a very "high school musical" like show. The music is great let me add. Great for teens or preteens and family friendly. LOVE!

I'll start with the fact that I'm 64. I stumbled across this yesterday while getting ready to watch something else and was, slightly, intrigued. When my teen daughter came out to see what I was watching I described it as a kind of High School Musical kind of show, by the very talented Kenny Ortega. I was already 3 episodes in. I just finished the last episode. And I gotta tell ya, it just kept getting better with each one. Yeah, it's a little cheesy, but some cheese is good. The music was pretty great! The last episode ended with a cliffhanger and I just said "what?? That can't be it!" And looked to see if a 2nd season has been ordered. It hasn't, but im gonna keep hoping for it, because I can't wait to see how this plays out!!

Good entertainment for the whole family.

I loved every minute of it! So emotional and yet so uplifting! I cried, laughed and loved the songs! Its so good Ive watched it 3 times and downloaded the album. Loved it! Waiting for season 2

So, I just happened to see this up on Netflix this morning, and I was bored and really had nothing else to watch, so I said "I'll give this one episode, it's rated G and is a musical, so I'm not expecting much". ....... And, i just finished binging the whole damn thing! Let me just say that forget the fact that it's a 'kids' show for a minute, it doesn't really feel like it when you're watching it. The original music, dancing and acting were some of the best I've seen from Netflix (or anywhere else in recent memory if I'm being completely honest). I'm 44 years old. And I LOVED this show. I've actually downloaded the soundtrack as well, and it's pretty freaking awesome!

If you're looking for something that the whole family can watch together and actually ENJOY together, you really ought to give this one a try. I think, like me, you'll be incredibly surprised.

I can't NOT give this one a 10/10. It truly deserves it.
