Backstage

This is not a good show. Even by Disney TV/kids show standards this is boring and very poorly written. Acting is not great, but they are kids, so who knows how good they might actually be?

Backstage is an excellent show! It may seem stupid at first, but somehow they really hook you in. I binge watched the first 15 episodes in two days! Seeing how the characters really feel when they are in interviews is an interesting take, and I have enjoyed it. The actors are actually talented as musicians, artists, and dancers. Most shows do not have talent like that. The only problem I have with the show is that they have too many characters, and I think they are planning on having more. Scarlett and Julie could have been combined into one character, and some are useless altogether. Even then, I can easily overlook that. I would recommend Backstage to my friends!

I ended up giving this show a chance. Most likely because I went to an arts school. At first I found the show underwhelming, It wasn't bad, but also not very meaty. Over time it started to develop and once it started firing on all cylinders (quite a ways into the first series) I became very impressed. It's not just a kids show, though it's formatted like one and leaves out a lot of real world themes that high school teens wrestle with. It is on the Canadian family channel.

Besides being loaded with incredible music and dance performance that get better and better as the show moves on. Despite toning down on content to landing somewhere between G and a soft PG, it's a fantastic, real, and extremely engaging binge worthy show that deserves to run a very long time.

I hope the slow start of the show, and the initial lack of depth and complexity doesn't hold it back from becoming the phenomenon it turns into and deserves large and long term traction for. It initially does feel like only a tween show but evolves into something genuinely fantastic.

I live in the U.S., so I have to watch it on Disney. The Disney shows have been going downhill, as everyone already knows. The only actual shows I watch on this channel are the Canadian imports. Sometimes they stop airing them, so I must watch it online. To be completely honest, I had low expectations for this series. But, after watching the premiere, I grow to enjoy this show a lot.

This show is a drama containing high school students going through trouble with their relationships at Keaton. This show clings into the story of their troubling problems and having to stay close to one another. The stress these students face is relatable. It seems it would be enjoyable for teens. But, young children might find this show a bit confusing.

Overall, this is one of the most remarkable drama I've seen in a while. Though it barely ever comes on anymore, I still watch the episodes constantly online. I can watch the same ones nonstop, and still be interested in what happens.

Backstage is an amazing show with likable characters, nicely thought-out messages, and a compelling plot. I recommend this show. You won't regret watching this drama.

A teen drama that manages to avoid cliché. It is done in a unique style not seen before by this reviewer. We get to know the characters, slowly,just as would happen in life. All the actors do great jobs with their roles. Their characters as well as their interactions are all very believable. Their dilemmas are typical for high school, but that can not be avoided. Still, the show does not dwell on anything unoriginal.

A unique show that manages to make something that should be worn out, talented performers at a high school, feel fresh and fun. Well worth watching. I am disappointed that Season 2 is being shown daily. It is a terrific show and deserves the once a week treatment. It does not deserve to be rushed through. I hope Disney understands what a gem this show is and gets behind it way more than they do. It is rarely on or promoted. Now they are showing an entire season in 3 weeks. This show deserves more.
