Finding Magic Mike

Marathoned this while I was home sick and it was such a pleasant surprise. Sure, it's about average dudes learning how to give lap dances and grind on the floor, but it's also about self discovery and acceptance. I dare you to watch more than one episode and not be rooting for these guys. Also, as a dancer and aerialist, I don't think people realize how impressive it is to learn that much choreography (especially aerial) in such a short period of time. No small feat.

There, I said it. This show made me fall in love with every single contestant and I genuinely cried when they left, especially towards the end. This show consists of the realest people out there forreal. You will see transformations, huge life lessons, and such strong bonds being formed amongst men. Every single person had to face their insecurities, sense of self worth, and put themselves out there in a way we are all scared to do. I don't know if this show was intended for women but I feel like men would have so much to gain from watching this show. Oh and also it's AMAZING to watch the performances, had me grinning the whole time. This season genuinely made me happy and filled my heart.

No spoiler to let you know: Channing Tatum does NOT make an appearance in the show he co-produced. Which is based on the films he produced. Which are, you know, based on HIS life. The guys are hot, though & interesting. And there's some solid reality-competition drama. Do feel like COVID foreshortened this 1st. Planned season.

This show was way way WAY better than I expected it to be. These men were all amateurs with no dance experience, and were so sweet and vulnerable. It was like watching your boyfriend earnestly learn how to try out for Magic Mike.

The production was fantastic, and it was just so fun to watch. I loved Adam Rodriguez he was so sweet and joyful.

I ended up watching the entire thing in one day I was so delighted with it.

This show was a pleasant surprise. The support the guys all show for each other is encouraging. The dancing is stellar. I have seen the show live in Vegas once before, and this absolutely makes me want to go back! I hope there are more seasons to come!
