High School Musical: The Musical - The Series: The Transformation (2021)
The writing in the show is so clever.
I love how it also kind of sets up what's gonna be going down on opening night. This kind of thing is what I like about the show. It doesn't just give drama for the sake of drama. There are things that build up over the episodes or episodes that are used to show where the characters are in life that still move the story along. This episode had really good writing. The Seblos love song was sweet. It's nice that Disney is letting LGBT couples get their own storylines. I can't wait until the next episode. I am obsessed with HSMTMTS and this will be a.show that I will know forever as my comfort show during a depressing period of my life.
High School Musical: The Musical - The Series: Most Likely To (2021)
THE CHARACTER ARCS ARE WRITTEN SO WELL!!!!!!!
This episode was so good. I don't know why people aren't understanding what the writers are doing. They aren't just creating drama. The characters are becoming their own person's. The writers are making the characters more fleshed out. This is literally the best episode of season 2 bc it gives Nini/Nina so much character development as well as the other characters. Ricky and Nini needed to break up so they can work on themselves before they eventually get back together. That is if they back together.

This show has literally created a new genre of television. Really well written show. Better than Glee.
I writing this because this show is honestly one of the best shows I have ever seen. It is literally so good at balancing a drama genre with a musical genre and a mockumentary genre and a Comedy Genre. It's like each character shows off a different aspect of the show. Some characters are more comedic while some characters are dramatic. Lily is literally the epitome of a Dramatic mean girl. But the thing is that the actress, Olivia Rose Keegan, is able to play her with such a depth that really makes you wonder if there is more to her than just being that unsettling villian. Olivia Rose Keegan this episode was so good at playing the mean girl. This episode really showed that she can be a really convincing villain. Also that musical number with Miss Jenn and Zack was so cool. This whole show is the perfect show for anyone who loves Musical Theatre. I think this show has really created another aesthetic. That aesthetic might be called the Musical Theater aesthetic. If you watch the entire season thru it resembles a musical especially with the middle of the season having a ground breaking dramatic climax mixed with a song.
The characters this season are also more fleshed out than last season. Nini honestly shines a lot more this season than last season with her coming into her own. She isn't just the girl who is boy crazy, she actually cares a lot about pursuing her dreams. With this change in persona, she is a stronger character. Her changing her name to Nina was such genius especially since she only changed her name to Nini because of Ricky. I mean she finally gave herself the self respect she deserves.
I also love how the fact that "The Rose Song" being illegally put in the show was also touched on. I know a lot of people on social media were talking about how it can't be in the show because no altering of the play is allowed. So with this happening, it really shows that the writers are still making the show as grounded as possible even with all the craziness.
This show is not like Glee. It is way better than Glee. It has its own humor, its own flavor, it's own uniqueness. The characters are so well written and the show is extremely memorable. There is nothing like this show and I hope it stays around for a long time. It's also not problematic like Glee was. I have to admit a lot of the scenes in Glee are iconic but also hard to watch because of how offensive a lot of them are.
High School Musical: The Musical - The Series: Valentine's Day (2021)
This was such a strong episode with great musical numbers!!!
This episode does a really good job of making all the musical numbers as organic as possible. In fact there is even one song that Kourtney sings called "Beauty and the Beast" which she blows out of the water btw. She has an amazing voice. In fact she had the best performance in the episode. The way it was set up like she was just practicing and yet she manages to also be the background music for Big Red and Ashlyn's date. Also, it was such a great musical number when Ricky and Nini sang their songs they wrote for each other together without even knowing they were. That accidental duet was genius. And the songs went together sooo well. Overall the episode was great with such strong performances from the cast and a some really great storylines that manage to connect the characters together so well.
High School Musical: The Musical - The Series (2019)
This is such an iconic show with so much greatness ahead!!!!
This show has a very unique style as it blends the styles of Mockumentary, drama and musicals together. All the actors give such stellar performances. Also this show has more of a realism about what the arts are like in high school than the show Glee. It's so relatable. And the songs are so catchy. This show is so memorable. It's gonna be talked about for years to come.
High School Musical: The Musical - The Series: Typecasting (2021)
This literally topped last episode. AMAZING!!!
This episode had such strong performances from each and every member of the cast. Olivia Rose Keegan as the new girl Lily was amazing. She really did an amazing job at going from sweet and nice to evil and malicious. She was perfect for the part. Also her voice was amazing. Ashlyn's voice was so good in this episode. She is a literal Disney princess. That song from the girl group was so catchy. I can't wait for the next episode.
High School Musical: The Musical - The Series: New Year's Eve (2021)
This was a very well crafted episode!!!!
So basically. This episode had really strong performances through out. And it was written so we'll. The acting was sooo good. The singing was really good. In fact the performances definitely topped the performances of last season. Also the group dynamic was so strong in this episode. And that ending of the episode was so we'll thought of. Classic HSMTMTS!!!!
