Spinning Out

So I was a little bored and I came around this on Netflix. Thought it was going to be a light fun show to watch. Planned on watching one episode that evening Bing watched the full 10 episodes on one night. It was surprisingly good! I got really drawn into the story. I really enjoyed it!

I am sure most are going to say it is the same old story-a night time soap-but it is not. This story seems to jump back and forth from just that-a story-then some reality thrown in. Touches on some very serious issues and they are presented well. There is just enough skating to keep skating fans happy and non-skating fans from being bored.

Some good actors involved. I just love January Jones-perfect as usual. I hope if there is a 2nd season that they scrap Johnny Weir-do we really have to put up with him. He is not a good actor-in fact he is not an actor-he does not fit in well-he is the reason I cannot watch figure skating-when he is the commentator, it's always about him and his god like statements that distract from the skater and their talents.

This show really caught me off guard. I thought I'd give it a try because I like sports dramas so I'd probably enjoy it. But damn! This is actually a really good show. What I like most about this is that it has very multilayered and quite believable characters. And it also adressen mental health, child abuse and other very important topics and it does it in an intruiging and entertaining and way.

The only thing that's not so good is the acting, but it got better as the season progressed, and I didn't really mind.

Great start to 2020. Looking forward to season 2! Have a great year everybody!!

I couldn't get enough of this,I hope they bring a season 2 out.

Expected a bittersweet drama with bad acting, got an intense drama about mental health and sports. Worth it.
