High School Musical: La Comédie Musicale: La Série

I am part of the generation that obsessed over HSM. Yes, I watched them all as a kid. I liked the music, but never really got extremely into it. This may be an unpopular opinion, but this show is way better. It is like a PG version of GLEE, but I'll confidently say it's better than that show ever was. The actors are good, acutely believable for high schoolers too. A lot of them have great voices and great chemistry together. I started watching this with my friend who's never seen HSM; we thought it would be a joke. Yet, both of us where pleasantly surprised and got sucked into it. I'm not ashamed to say I'm excited for the next season, and I hope these actors get the chance to prove their potential. Once again, a Disney+ original does not fail!

Season One: 7/10

Themes: High School, Drama, Musical, Comedy & Second-Chance Romance.

Top three characters: 1) Ricky Bowen, 2) Ashlyn Caswell and 3) Nini Salazar-Roberts.

Honestly there's really NOTHING to be mad about because it doesn't destroy the original HSM storyline or anything. It is it's OWN show. It's humorous and lots of heart. Talented group of young actors! The mockumentary style is a PLUS!

This show isn't trying to be high school musical, and it shouldn't. They made a great Easy to watch teens series, that fits to young adults (and young in heart) who grew up watching the original high school musical. Just right, great cast (Nini is awesome ), no complains.

This mockumentry style of filming only solidifies my belief: This show is the love child of Glee and the Office. And if that sounds interesting to you, you should definitely give HSMTMTS a try. And because this show is for the Disney+ streaming platform and not just Disney Channel, there was a certain maturity to the show that (excitingly) makes me believe that it's demographic isn't just kids who currently watch Disney, but for people who grew up with High School Musical. It's funny without being forced, and a refreshing new take on an established franchise.
