Sydney to the Max

The production, casting and writing of this show is good. There's really two shows with an emphasis on current day Sydney versus past tense Max.

The plots are similar most episodes: a deception usually caused by not being forthcoming leads one party to mistake the intentions of another party.

This show gives you a throwback vibe of old Disney shows and is entertaining to watch. Sydney is a funny seventh grader along with her best friend. Her grandmother is a hip person and her dad seems like a dad joke kind of person. I definitely recommend this show!

I've been wanting to get into new Disney shows lately since I've started watching TV more often now and I decided to give this one a try because I just finished watching Coop & Cami Ask The World and that show's really good. The plot of Sydney To The Max really made me interested in watching because Sydney's mom died and my mom has also died and I live with my grandma like Sydney does (I don't live with my dad though). Anyways I really am enjoying watching the show a whole lot. I'm not a fan of the flashbacks but it is cool and different for a Disney show to do that. A lot of times the flashbacks are more interesting than the present day plots. At least people can't complain that this show is exactly copying another show like they complain about so many other new Disney shows. I love seeing Sydney's dad,Max, raise Sydney and the Grandma is pretty cool. I've seen some people complain about Sydney being disrespectful and yeah she does go against what her Dad says but that's how kids are in every show. That's how you get a plot going. In the end Max is able to connect with Sydney and their able to talk through Sydney's problems and wants because Max has gone through a lot of similar things that Sydney has gone through. I do recommend this show for anyone wanting a Disney show to watch.

I have three young daughters and this show is one of those feel good shows that helps bridge the divide between how things were when I was a kid and how things are for them. I like the B story of the dad as a child going through something similar as a kid. It's a fun show that doesn't seem to take it's self too serious and can be fun for parents and kids.

Honestly, it gave me nostalgia of Disney shows like Jessie or Zack and Cody. All of the new shows from Disney are either trying to be "cool and trendy", the actors give off over-reacted expressions (which does go together with a few shows but sometimes comes off as forced and incompetent) or they bombard the show with laugh tracks. I like this show since.. 1. There are no laugh tracks 2. At times, there are over-reactions but it actually comes of as funny 3. There isn't like idk a "modern-ish language" where they say "cray" or "literally" etc.
