"Spinning Out" is a great show

I don't know what it was about ice skating that always caught my attention but I've always admired the sport. I think it's amazing how both women and men can balance on the ice, let alone jump high and spin in the air. When I was little I remember watching this movie called Ice Princess, and I loved it from the start! So when I discovered this new show on Netflix one day, I instantly clicked and fell in love.

The show is great because it has to do with ice skating which is just entertaining to see. It centers on this girl named Kat who struggles with bipolar disorder who has to deal with the struggles that come with her skating. It also focuses on the point where the main character has post-traumatic stress disorder from a fall that nearly killed her, and so she has to learn how to skate again!

The show also has characters from her best friend Jenn to Justin and Marcus who she is in a love triangle with! It's a great drama with a lot of heart and passion!

Not only is it a great show because it focuses on mental health, an underrated sport, but it also focuses on heavier issues, not that those aren't already serious issues. It dives into the struggles of minorities in predominantly white communities, it displays the vivid experiences that athletes like these have to go through and child abuse.

If you need a new show that is great and different, definitely check this one out. I might be a little biased because I think I've skating is fun to watch, but it will not disappoint! Since this is a Netflix original that was literally released on New Year's Day, if it is picked up for a second season, it won't premiere until next year (2021), so fingers crossed!
