Freeridge

Because I loved On My Block, I thought that this'd be more of the same... how WRONG I was.

Firstly, this is far too Alphabetised; LGHDTV all over the place, and as always, ever since 2017, they're heavy-handed with it.

Now, I'm 100% straight, like 12:30. Overkill is overkill; I do NOT want to be force-fed Alphabet soup every goddamned day.

Even my love for the prequel couldn't convince me to endure another episode of this blatant agenda push.

Not happening. Which is a goddamned shame.

They did the exact same thing with BP2: Wakanda Forever, and it ended up being banned in China and the Middle East. Well done Hollyweird, we see you... Heavy-handed agenda-forcing means NO-WAY, in my book!

I really liked On My Block, its a fun teen show, the cast was pretty nice, it had a good plot, the characters were mostly enjoyable and the comedy was good. So i went to watch this mess with some expectations, but oh my, this is beyond awful. The characters are annoying and uninteresting, there's nothing to be curious about or even pay attention to in the story. In the original show Freeridge was shown as a dangerous neighborhood but they knew how to balance the teenager lives with the gang related stuff. Here it just feels like a boring ass place where nothing happens. Also its very cringe when they try to force some romance between characters because it feels forced, unlike On My Block. I don't recommend this crap to anybody.

I watched this because I liked the previews. I finished it to write an accurate review. This is so cringey and I will not watch another season if it does come back. Netflix is good for keeping the wrong shows so it might be. The characters are kids so maybe I need to take that into consideration but the story is all over the place. They're supposed to be in high school but they're drinking with the adults, the uncle is a big child and acts dumb, the sisters are horrible to each other and say the most hateful things. They make me very glad to not have a sister. Gloria the older sister is bossy, horrible, hateful and violent. The younger sister, Ines is a manipulative lying little brat. The friends have no backbones. Thankfully it was only 8 episodes. But my suggestion: don't waste your time.

I recently watched the entire series and from the first episode I knew. I wasn't expecting it to be like on my block at all it was a whole different vibe. From watching other spin- offs ideally there are at least a couple main characters that make appearances throughout the series. There was none of that in Freeridge. There was really no aspects of on my block in the show. While watching Freeridge I felt none of the place "Freeridge". They didn't have any of the "gangs" or "landmarks" as seen in on my block and I just think for a show named after the place it wasn't real feeling like Freeridge. I feel like Netflix could've made the main characters more like able I only found one character that I liked and he has a supporting character. While with on my block I liked characters like Jamal, Rubys grandma, Monse and Jasmine. Also I felt like the relationships weren't written very well at all. Demi and Cam's relationship didn't make any sense as the actors had no chemistry on screen. Also I feel like the show could've been more mature it felt like a gothic Disney teen drama. Very poorly done...

I was so excited for this show to come out. Mostly because on my block had a great plot and twists and turns that was captivating and amazing to watch. BUT THIS WAS A TERRIBLE SPINOFF. Congrats you mentioned ruby and his family throughout the show but none of it was even remotely close to what on my block was, absolutely nothing good about it. You'd be wasting your time watching it. If you have high expectations prepare to be disappointed. They start off the show with a fight between sisters so you expect the plot to be somewhat similar and then bam horrible cheesy teenage show that's like all of the rest. I'm highly displeased and wasted a lot of my time waiting for the show to get better and it just never did.
