I enjoyed this - the music was catchy, the cast is pretty, and it has a decent balance of poignant and silly.

We finished this last night- super cute! Love to see Kenny Ortega finally get to portray an openly gay character after flirting with it in HSM, Descendents, etc. GIVE US A KISS KENNY.

Yay, someone else watched the show! I hope they commission another season after that Dun-Dun-Dun! ending, but I expect I’ll be rewatching S1 sometime when I want a pick-me-up.
