Big Shot

Right, this is a high school show from Disney... I must be going out of my mind or something!!? But, I don't care. I really enjoy this show. It makes me feel good and it makes me want to do better. Da*n you Disney, what have you done to me?! LOL

It's a really sweet and actually good show. I have seen 4 episodes so far, and I'm waiting for the next one. Some shows and movies just drags you into their world, same goes for this show. I'll give you, school is hard, many bullies and stuff, but it's still nice to be part of something sweeter. Taking a break from life. I know how hard school was, we all do. But instead of showing us how it was, it chose to show us how it can be!

Disney, you sons of bitc*es, you have fooled me into your evil plans once more! For that, you have my respect!

9/10.

Interesting to watch while John Stamos exhibits his acting chops as a basketball coach figuring out how to come to terms with his career, his past, and his daughter. The supporting cast is excellent, especially the Principal of the High School whose timing and one liners are hilarious. Especially in the back and forth with Stamos.

Watched it with my teenage daughter who plays basketball. Does it accurately represent teenage girls? After the first introductory scene where he meets the team (which seemed to include all possible stereotypical "teenager" comments), the pacing settles down and generally accurately reflects teenage concerns and emotions. My daughter watched the whole thing, which I took as a good sign. Also, it touches on (but doesn't dwell, thank goodness) how coaching girls' teams is perceived as a "step down" from coaching boys. Hoping this series works to dispel that myth, and looking forward to more episodes.

Very surprised at how much I liked this the 1st episode of this series. Very watchable sports show. Worth a try folks.

This is a Disney+ series, so naturally I thought it was going to be cheesy, but Disney scored big with a series that beautifully combines sports, real drama, and excellent character development. John Stamos does a great job of portraying the witty, yet relatable Marvyn Korn. His relationships with the other characters, especially his daughter Emma were really fleshed out. I liked how this show also had good arcs for other characters. Even though the stakes were never really high, the show makes you feel like they are. Yvette Nichole Brown also gets points for her superb acting. The show does miss a 10/10 rating for some cringy dialogue at times, and there wasn't really any "wow" factor with this show. It's a little predictable and I just wasn't amazed or surprised enough for a 10 rating. It's still a great show that can serve as comfortable viewing.
