油脂：紅粉登場2023

There’s pure visual pleasure that comes from exaggerated high school scenes and flashes of confidence, as when the Pink Ladies are in formation and in strut. But that’s minutes in an hours-long series. I like the original Grease well enough, but it’s hard to imagine anyone but the most ardent fans sticking around for that long.

I wasn't in love from the first episode, but I liked it and kept watching until it was absolutely Crushing Me. I don't know when it gripped my soul entirely, but I've been locked in ever since. Singing, dancing, proper impressed with the story and representation. In hindsight, the show is even better, and oml Ari's songs have me OBSESSED. Who knew I'd end up with nonbinary lesbian rep that healed my soul? A lesbian portraying a canon lesbian, who sings about her canon lesbian romance? I AM ALL IN!!!! It's a show for misfits, and a fresh contribution to the Grease universe. The actors are far more believable than in the original films, though I still very much love Grease itself, this show is is *chef's kiss*. I really hope that it's saved from this disastrous industry nonsense going on and gets season 2. I'm SO EXCITED for the new member of our favorite girl gang

So much of this series also just feels too safe and similar to other teen dramas, hitting the same beats we have seen time and time again.
