    Fantastic

    Cinematography was incredible. The singing voices of the cast are phenomenal. Ted Mosby was great, as was Moana. 10/10 would recommend #chills

    A lot of upside, a lot of downside

    Some really good moments and intriguing storylines, but some really bad moments as well. A precarious start, but far to early to right this series off.

    Amazing Set Up To The Series !!!!!

    Loved The Pilot !! Great Character Development Also !! As Much As I Love This is us This Show Will See Great Things To Come in The Future !!

    Like a dramatic glee

    This is a great pilot! The cast was perfectly chosen. Josh Radnor who we all know from How I Met Your Mother is always a good professor, Auli'i Cravalho on her first big acting job not just voicing a character, and I believe the up and coming actor Damon J. Gillespie will be seen in many more movies and tv shows.

    The storyline is closely similar to Glee, the new *insert singing high school gig* teacher ready to stir things up, getting in trouble for trying to get the football star on the *insert singing position*. Antagonizing the *insert sport* coach.

    The storyline is similar, but this Pilot took us so much deeper into the lives of everyone. It was, of course, dramatic, but really refreshing to see actual teenagers playing teenagers, with problems that may be actually facing right now.

    I hope this show grows as much as the characters did on this pilot. I hope this gets places. But lets see
