How to Be Indie - Wie ich lerne, ich zu sein

I liked this show a lot, I thought the acting was much better than on most kids shows and the writing unlike most kids shows did not make we cringe or want to vomit :)

I don't get it but I'm not supposed to get or like shows made for kids. I know the kids liked this one when it was on (2011 or so) and they missed it when it was gone. Haven't seen it rerun at all so I'm assuming it'll be hard to track down. Just checked and it's not available on YouTube or anything. Recommended though if you have kids or up to young teens.

Ignore the negative reviews. Actually, this is a really good, family show intended for all ages. I love it.

The show was created by the same woman as Naturally Sadie so I was hoping it would be at least entertaining if not actually clever most of the time. So far I have been disappointed however. The writing is dull and insipid. I fear it may be because the stock TV writers are mostly not Indians and thus are struggling to come up with thematic material. On second thought even generic episodes have been lacklustre. The acting also seems poor although one does have to make allowances for the inexperience of the actors. Marline Yan shines though. A natural talent to be sure. Still I do rate it 7/10 because I'm happy to see something about Indians.

It was an okay show. It was not a show that I invested tons of time into because it wasn't for me. Maybe because it had empty drama that goes nowhere. The cast was okay, I guess.

This show came on after the classic YTV era had ended. During this era no one cared about YTV because it didn't care about itself. YTV went from classic to I forgot channel 25 existed.

The show overall was not bad or good. You get some Indian eye candy and even that sometimes isn't enough.

Last words: How to be a 5.
