Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance!

Gymnastics Academy was chosen by Les Shepherd and Mariska Hartijay in support of the Olympics for NBC Public Television.

Please air on NBC Primetime in the United States and Washington DC.

Gymnastic Performer, Kyra Berry, a 14-year-old African-American arrives in Australia to try to win a scholarship to an elite Gymnastics Academy. It's a second chance but also her last.

This show is terrific and warm-hearted with lots of good gymnastic thrills and storylines. Kyra travels from the United States to enhance her gymnastic skills to compete in gymnastic tournaments.

The show is captivating and keep you watching television. The acting, is pretty good. There are fun-filled moments when the teenagers are getting to know each other. The cast of Gymnastics Academy are very good and the show s excellent.

My sisters watch a lot of crappy shows (Project MC2, The Next Step, Fuller House to name a few). This show, however, is one that I can actually sit down and watch with them without feeling like I have to bleach my eyes afterward.

The gymnastics is neat.

The acting, overall, is pretty decent. I only cringed about once or twice.

The dialogue isn't awful.

Has a fair bit of humorous moments.

Characters are pretty good (my favourite being Tess, my least favourite being Maya).

Only thing I really hate is the romance-y thing between Kyra and that guy, but I dislike romance in general, so I didn't deduct any points for that.

Overall, this show gets 7.5/10 for not making me want to hit my head repeatedly with a sledgehammer to ease the pain, like so many other shows my sisters like, good job.
