After watching the first two episodes of this new series from the CW I was surprised to find myself getting into it, I expected this to be a copy off Bring It On with the writing being predictable and the acting poor, but watching this show I can see it has the potential to become the next One Tree Hill as it has everything their with the threat of loosing everything the team has to work together to pull off a winning season. The choreography is good allowing the cheering scene's and the practice's to flow. The main characters already have a good chemistry and I can see this show becoming one of the best CW shows ever made in the teen drama area.

Being a cheerleader, I think that Hellcats shows people just how much work we put into our sport and how dangerous and competitive it can be. The characters have relatively recognizable personalities and some of the events in the show are very surprising, which makes everything that much more interesting. The only thing that bothers me with the show is some of the techniques they use, but since I'm involved in cheerleading, I look at the things they do very critically. If a viewer isn't too familiar with the sport, they probably wouldn't notice. All in all, I think it's a really good show with interesting and unpredictable events happening throughout.
When first seeing the trailers of the CW that announced to air a show about cheerleaders, I suspected it to be just like your average 'High School drama'-series involving love, hate and gossip. The title Hellcats tries to give a little 'edge' to the show. Although the acting is not great in this show it has a certain fun-factor that keeps me watching. Especially because "Hellcats" contradicts my prejudice about 'High School' and 'teenager' series. The storyline of the show is surprisingly unpredictable. The CW invested a lot in making this show look attractive. Apart from cheer leading this show involves a fun storyline, some comedy, some drama and a somewhat 'nasty' attitude of the characters. They're not called "Hellcats" for nothing.

Wow when my sister first talked me into watching this show with her i wasn't expecting much but its a really fun and interesting story about a group of cheerleaders . This programme has a lot of twists and you soon become accustomed to expecting the unexpected . You find your self glued to the intricately woven social lives of the students and staff at there college . It has a well written and incredibly full story line you will not find yourself bored whilst watching this programme . The characters are well thought out and witty with clear interesting personalities and backgrounds.
I would highly recommend this show to anyone who likes a bit of mystery and drama all hidden behind that perfect smile of the typical college cheerleaders .

not a fabulous series, nice characters though! Good actors, famous actors. It just didn't make it, another show that got cancelled fast but this time it wasn't a mistake. Aly Michalka's character is sort of stereotypical,, the type of girl who really doesn't think cheering is her thing and then they prove her wrong and she is a super popular cheerleader who's amazing at cheering and has a lot of friends. She's sort of transparent, sort of lifeless except for when she's dancing, but maybe that's a choice of character. The action is a little absent. A lot of drama, not my thing... Savannah (Ashley Tisdale) tries not to be a bitchy cheerleader, so she is very very nice but that makes her a little annoying, but she can be likable at the same time.
As of late, Vampire Diaries is the highest rated show on the CW, averaging 3-4 million viewers each episode. But me? I'd rather watch a show about competitive cheerleading ANY DAY.
I have been itching for a TV series about cheerleading ever since I saw Bring It On, and as a result I had high hopes for Hellcats.
Said hopes were pretty much blown out of the water.
Hellcats is not only quite well written, but well acted to boot. Many criticize Aly Michalka's acting, but I feel that she holds her own along side the other actors.
However, the real star to keep an eye out for is the lovely Heather Hemmons. Hemmons adds real depth to the role of Alice Verdura. Every week we find another layer to peel away, and another reason to love both Heather and her character.
The entire cast is gorgeous, and the gentlemen are no exception. Jeff Hephner, Robbie Jones, Matt Barr, Ryan Kennedy, (and did I say Jeff Hephner?) all very nice eye candy.
Everything about Hellcats works, and that's part of what makes it so great.
Shows like this just don't come around every day.

It seriously is!
I'd give it a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for a poor pilot introduction where, after watching most of released episodes by now, I was hoping to see why has Marty, more or less, lightly considered getting into the squad.
Other than that, I think the show is brilliant. Actors/actresses are good looking, all with different traits. Alice is mean, supercilious and selfish. Savannah is holier than thou, shy, fragile and uncertain if she fits in where she is now because of the influence her mother holds over her. Marty is pretty casual, humorous and always helpful. There are of course more interesting characters but where would the fun be in describing them all.
As far as the acting goes, I consider myself quite a show-a-holic and I think it just can't get much better and I wouldn't ask for better, I'm not really seeing any major flaws. The plot itself is very unpredictable and will always keep you on your toes, and the music added to it will further spice it up. The problems major characters go through are pretty realistic.
All that said, do not get fooled by keywords "cheer leading" and "teenager". This is so much more than that! I hope I'll get to see more than a season or two of Hellcats.

How to summarize this show (at least at half the first season)? A lot of very cute girls in short skirts, dancing around and singing (not very well), blended with a dreadful "serious" plot and constant references to moral grounds, as well as hard-to-bear religious references. In short: made to please the eyes of the men everywhere and avoiding the moral grounds in bible belt. With so many good and funny shows out there, it is almost painful to watch. However, Aly Michalka is a real eye candy and would deserve a show a little bit more developed. But it's worth looking at the show just for her (with the occasional glimpses on her cheerleader colleagues)... 4 out of 10, for the girls...
At first,I don't liked cheerleaders things.But when I watched the pilot of ''HellCats''I we're repeating this:
''Cheerleaders aren't a drug for get the cheers happy,but NOW I KNOW what is a real cheerleader.Is not cheering,but WORK,WORK,WORK!''
Is a story with laughs,fight,smiles,competitions and romance.
You wouldn't surrender about watching HellCats,only if you 'd think what I think before I watched HellCats.
An amazing show.

10/10!

The CW's hot cast but bad writing formula is perfectly fits with the cheerleading theme.
Signing popular and attractive actresses was also a good choice. The success was guarenteed atleast for a short term, considering the channel's standards. The creators probably didn't want to change the world with this show though. It would have been impossible. Atleast the story doesn't take place in a highschool. Choosing an university as the base location was something I didn't see coming. Much better because everybody, including me, tired of seeing 30+ year olds playing teenage roles. That is the only freshness about the series. Everything else feels cheap and used up. Nothing new which we haven't seen it thousand times already before. Cheerleading scenes are okayish, atleast decently choreographed. The forced relationship drama feel boring and too corny. Characters feel shallow and dull. Most of the jokes come and go quickly. The soundtrack has some good indie songs but nowhere near the quality and variety of One Tree Hill's.
Can't name any reason why it should have deserved anymore chance, gladly it got cancelled just at the right time.

Hell cats was amazing, when you hear cheer leading you automatically think of some girly movie but this movie had brains and an actual story to it. No episode was like the one before, and each new episode brought a new story to the table, you could never know what was going to happen next. Also, What i really enjoyed about this show is it was realistic which makes it relatable and I truly, really wish from the bottom of my heart that abcfamily or someone starts this show up again, it was fantastic, and i watched it every week and ever since it ended im still watching re-runs, i really wish it would start up again! i was very sad to hear THIS show, that was actually very well done got cancelled as opposed to other shows. So i think we should spread the word, and try to get hellcats started up again! After watching just the first episode i couldn't stop it was that good

I actually am a big fan of dancing and music...so that's why i really enjoy watching Hellcats. The storyline intrigues you to keep on,the relations and competitions seem real and make connections with the watcher. And more than all the above, the cast,they really are perfect dancers and this is the most important cause that's make the show worth a shot...a shot that wont make you regret. The whole storyline is around cheerleaders competing for scholarship.The starring girl Aly Michalka(Marti) is really capable of doing almost everything you can imagine...and I'll go blind if you don't enjoy her being in a show with Ashley Tisdale.

this show is really awesome.... the acting might not be that good .. but the show is still awesome.. they should air it again.The best part is that there is everything inside this show. It has cheer, it has singing, it has great dancing and , a lot of drama.......and the best of all amazing stunts. All the characters are really done nicely.. each have their own problems and i really hope they will continue this show to seasons to come. and i also hope that they make the next season the best of all. even though it is quite predictable but who cares. it is a great show. so i hope they air it again and continue to produce more episodes filled with drama, amazing singing, dancing, and cheerleading.

Hellcats is a show thats perfect for the network. Fans of shows like Smallville, Vampire Diaries, Make it or Break it & Secret Life of an American Teenager will fall in love with this series. This show was built for the American tween public, and thats not a bad thing.
Aly Michalka & Ashley Tisdale are Disney alums that will draw a lot of fans to the show, and its those fans that are ready to grow out of the Disney Channel and move on to the tween TV scene.
While some of the characters will immediately jump out at you, many others seem to just fade into the background and leave you asking, "Who?" Im sure character development will help this over the course of time.
Its a show that can be very predictable, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Its in how the show is delivered and carries its stories. Only time will tell.
Hellcats has promise, and i believe given the chance they will fulfill all expectations and maybe a little more. This show could easily become a cult classic with many more seasons to come. Will Hellcats reach the top of the pyramid and continue to fly or tumble into obscurity?

Hi, despite the fact that the series began to show in 2010, I watched this show just now, a great movie, and how I did not find it sooner. Accustomed to the actors, and fell in love with each hero. Cinema for 22 series is not tired, just intrigued with each series, it's super !!!! Very long searched for a good movie, and I found it, but very sorry that the show closed. The most interesting place, I am very upset, so that the series is not. I am very much I want to see a sequel. Please continue to make a film, I want to see the old actors in the new sequel, it will be amazing!I hope that the day will come when there will be a season 2 favorite series !!!!!

There are few series that manage to bring grace our TV today. Surprisingly, a new show with a "awful" story (about cheerleaders) can do it! The cast does a great work (especially Ashley Tisdale) and there seems to be more behind every pretty face that we see on stage. The funny thing is that you can be moved by what happens and seem to need more and more episodes.
I think Hellcats is a great job, worthy of being recognized and supported by people of all ages.
What I want to see? Clashes between the girls and certainly the love between the characters and definitely something new and amazing! It's wait and see what happens! For me, everything is great!
