It's not a bad show. Deccent enough storyline but I can't believe Spinning Out was cancelled and they made this! Spinning Out was an amazing show and I am still gutted they aren't making more of it.

This show makes no sense . It's like the writers borrowed scenes from Ice Princess and Spinning Out and made a show that has characters that no one cares about , uninspired choreography and a really ill fitting soundtrack. Don't expect much from this.

It's cringe to watch. Every character is hated in the first minute of its appearance... They say the actors in this movie are 15?? 15? cmon that's ridiculous... They look 23-25 smh
Not worth the waste of time....

A Hockey and Figure skating drama, what's not to love! Yes, it's a bit strange to come from Canada to the UK for an ice sport. But it's a fiction drama! So chill out. He came because a famous hockey player has an academy that could make is career. Plus the mum is British so it's helps the story!
It's also nice to see filming done not in London. But at the home of the Steelers in Sheffield.
Overall easy and fun watch with normal teen drama and angst.

Everything about this show is cheap and tacky. Poor acting, script and directing. It's sad that Netflix canceled Spinning Out which was fantastic and the ice skating was a high standard and then release this cheap imitation

Good storyline, terrible acting, and one thing is certain NO way a great hockey player from Canada is moving away from Canada. This part of the show makes no sense.
I really don't know if the writers of this show have any idea about the UK and Ice Hockey because why would someone with a budding Ice Hockey career move from one of the World's best countries for Ice Hockey - to the UK - where we don't really give a damn about the sport !
Anyone who is any good at Ice Hockey in the UK - moves to the US or Canada - not the other way around. Also Hockey scholarships are not a thing in the UK. Sports scholarships are very rare.
They could have made more sense by having the parents move to the UK for work and having the children adapt their hobbies to the UK - but i guess that is too much common sense for these writers !

This show is not Spinning Out, so stop complaining. This show is totally different and original, for those who complain, I want to tell you that Spinning Out was not cancelled to make this show.
Also this is a show that, unlike Spinning Out, is for an audience such as children and families mainly, so do not criticize if it is childish.
Another thing that bothers me a lot is that you guys, complain that they moved from Canada to the UK to play hockey. I understand that Canada's sport is ice hockey, but do you think there are no good teams in the UK? Anyway, Mac had a very good opportunity, and that's why he left, thanks to his talent.
On the other hand, the actors are very good, an entertaining plot with drama, and what struck me the most was that it breaks with stereotypes, and I think that's something that this show knew how to do very well.
I hope we get season 2 soon.

If they make a movie about Shawn White Dakota Taylor would do a good job as him.
Nice show about family and sibling dynamics. Not for little kids more for 12-14 year olds.

I'm on episode 4 and so far the only watchable scenes are with Kayla and/or Sky. Terribly written. Like Mac getting so upset about some balloons? The parents not supporting Kayla and basically making it seem like she'll never make it, so why bother. It just seemed so farfetched. It felt like the parents didn't even want her to skate as a hobby.

My 11 year old hockey player said after he watched the first two episodes:
1) "I didn't know they play hockey in England, I thought they love soccer."
2) "No way an elite team would play with this kind of cheap hockey sticks."
The actors who play 15 year olds looks like they are in their mid 20ies.
Anybody who knows a little bit about the basics of hockey and figure skating, and most people do, will find the show unbelievable with no authenticity. Good premise, not so good execution.
- props are important in story telling - even my son's local team plays with one piece carbon composite sticks.

Title sums it up really. Watchable enough and good to show that hockey does actually exist outside of North America but could have done more to highlight British ice hockey

The plot is unoriginal and way too predictable. The acting is mediocre at best. The end result? If you like hockey and figure skating: surprisingly enjoyable.
Another skating show on Netflix that will probably be cancelled after one season. I don't understand why they would start a new skating show when they could have just continued Spinning Out. Not as interesting of characters either. It is also hard to invest when Netflix will probably cancel and start another show that is almost the same next year.
For a YA show it was interesting enough and entertaining enough. Watched all episodes in a couple of days and don't think it was a waste of time.

I think Zero Chill is a great show with enough drama to keep the target audience (kids/young teens) interested.
Though I am out of the intended audience bracket, I was engaged enough to watch the whole series, in the company of younger family members. The acting of the main cast was surprisingly quite subtle and touching in moments, which was nice to see - especially in moments where other kid/teen series have fallen flat or been overdone. I really enjoyed the performances of Ava, Jacob, Bear, and Mac.
The series was also able to show tension without the threat of physical violence and though my adult brain did cringe at certain moments, as a kid I would have loved the humour.
Overall, I think it's unfair for 45-year-old adults to rate a show negatively when they are clearly not the target audience. You have to remember, the characters are 15 YEARS OLD - at that age, everything feels like the end of the world. So I think it was completely valid for (i.e) Mac to be angry about balloons...

The story & what the characters do sometimes doesn't make sense but I enjoyed being able to watch this with my family. It can get a bit cheesy but I've seen worse lol so it doesn't bother me as much. I would say it's still a good watch if you are into sports. I love Ava's character the most!! Would love to see more of Mac and Ava together if their is a season 2 bc their scenes were the best :)

I love this show!! It made me laugh, love and cry! Not many shows do that to me but I am in love with this show. I finished it in a day. I love how it shows both worlds of the ice. I need more seasons!!

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of any sport, so starting this I was hesitant, but I really enjoyed it! Some of the characters could be annoying sometimes, but overall it was definitely worth it!
