Não Provoque

A senior does not plot revenge against those who expelled her. That is not what the show is about at all... A senior and her besties loyalties are put to the test when a new coach is assigned to their cheerleading squad to bring them to the top! Loyalty, and jealousy ensue. Great show! The acting is fantastic!

This show was actually much better than usual teen shows with fairytales and boring love stories. It was darker, it showed the hard part of being a cheerleader and the efforts they have to make, unlike most shows where cheerleaders are nothing but popular girls. I'm really dissapointed that there won't be anymore seasons, while other dumb shows last long.

Super suspenseful and chaotic. At times this show was a little slow and other times it was super messy. I do like the darkness behind the show and also the dynamic of the cheer squad.

That's why I like this show. I am reading the book now but so far it's told in the same narrative style and doesn't leave many things out. Beth legitimately reminds me of girls I have been friends with in the past and is extremely relatable. All of the other characters other than Colette French the cheer coach. I suppose I also related to Sam but I don't want to give any spoilers away. This show doesn't hide behind the facade most shows featuring teenager girls do, but instead shows you a gritty truth behind codependency, infatuation, lies, regrets and a true competitive nature. As someone who played sports and has had many girlfriends, this can't be more true. I have never met anyone more competitive than a woman and this show exposes all of the insecurities that come with such a inherent nature.

Dare Me is a darkly compelling and utterly addictive series that expertly blends the intense world of competitive high school cheerleading with a gripping mystery. From the very first episode, the show hooks you with its sharp writing, stylish visuals, and an atmosphere thick with tension and unspoken desires.

The performances are phenomenal, particularly the dynamic between Addy Hanlon (Herizen Guardiola) and Beth Cassidy (Marlo Kelly). Their complex and often unsettling friendship forms the emotional core of the series, and both actresses deliver nuanced and captivating portrayals. The arrival of the new coach, Colette French (Willa Fitzgerald), further ignites the drama and introduces a layer of intriguing ambiguity.

What makes Dare Me stand out is its willingness to delve into the darker aspects of teenage life, exploring themes of power, loyalty, jealousy, and sexuality with a refreshing and unflinching honesty. The cheerleading backdrop isn't just window dressing; it's intricately woven into the narrative, serving as a metaphor for the intense competition and high stakes that permeate the characters' lives.

The mystery at the heart of the show unfolds gradually, keeping viewers guessing and constantly shifting their allegiances. Just when you think you have it figured out, Dare Me throws another curveball, ensuring that you remain thoroughly engaged until the very end.

While the show can be intense and at times unsettling, it's this very quality that makes it so captivating. Dare Me is a smart, stylish, and thought-provoking series that will stay with you long after the credits roll. If you're looking for a teen drama with substance, a compelling mystery, and unforgettable characters, then Dare Me is definitely worth checking out.
