    Loved the concept..!!

    This show is too underrated. It deserves much more recognition. It really motivates you to give your best towards whatever you do. I am highly inspired by this show and will try to give my best in my field.

    Also, I loved the animation during those performances. They were on point to the setting and was amazing.

    What stood out for me was the amazing friendship between the team and the way each of them supported one another. Now I am eagerly waiting for the movie.
